mr. honorat:

I have no problem whatsoever with mr nadal or anyone else choosing to
"express his wish" to see aristide or anyone else "go", whether it be in the
Haitian or U.S. context.

I agree that such is a valid exercise of democratic freedom of expression.


What we may NEVER know, however, is this:

In addition to "expressing his wish" to see aristide "go", is mr nadal
"doing" anything else to "help that wish along the road to realization"?

I truly don't know.

I'm just a learner here.


But, if mr nadal were to help to fund thugs to "try to make sure that
aristide goes", that would be another thing.

That would be the difference between democracy and helping to assist in a
coup d'état.


Whether mr nadal only "talks" or whether he "actually does", only God and a
handful of folks will ever really know.
