And my point is, if Nadal hadn't advocated removal of Aristide, his views
might have been taken differently.  The people will go to great lengths to
see that their efforts in electing the president they wanted will not be
undone.....AGAIN.  If democracy was firmly in place and no outside
interference existed, this wouldn't be a problem.  But we are not long out of
the coup years.  It should no longer be an option, but some people don't want
to play by the rules.  You do not remove a president you don't like; you vote
him out next election.  If the opposition acts responsibly, they can oppose
all they like.  But I think it is very unwise to talk about shortening
Aristide's term or further sabotaging progress in Haiti to prove that
Aristide can't do the job.
