a1890: Re: a1889: murky conditions (fwd)
From: Greg Bryant <gregandsusan@rainbowtel.net>
In answer to Paul Miller's questions, I think it's pretty clear:
1. What is it we (i.e., the US govt.) like about a leader that gives
them favored status?
Answer: Anti-socialist who suppresses dissent.
2. What common factors grant an unfavorable status?
Answer: Socialist who allows dissent.
3. What can change a leader's status?
Answer: If favored, toy with socialism. If not favored, die.
A lot of things about the history of Aristide's administrations make
a lot more sense in view of these simple, sickening, and increasingly
obvious truths.
