No it is NOT.

Even if Aristide were a raving lunatic frothing at the mouth, it is NOT YOUR RIGHT.  It is the right of the Haitian people, in a free and fair election, to decide if they want Aristide for President of Haiti, during the next election for which he is eligible.  Not YOU personally.  You have one vote in Haiti, and it is incredibly arrogant of anyone to assert that they have more of a right to decide than any other Haitian citizen.

And we all know how deeply offended you are by the killings of Haitian citizens - during the coup years, 1991 - 1994, your voice was so often and so eloquently raised in defense of the victims of the Army, FRAPH, and the right-wing terror apparatus, wasn't it?  Puh-LEASE.

Absolutely, if you feel that he should be denounced, you have every right to denounce him!  What you do NOT have the right to do is REMOVE him, and frankly your incitements to violent overthrow of Aristide's government are treasonous and ought to be treated as such.

For your information I observed those elections.  They were no farce.  The legislative elections of January 18, 1992, the "fo mamit" elections, were a farce for sure.

And you know this because of your vast academic and clinical training as a mental health practitioner?

Me too!

And you think Aristide is paranoid?

Come on, Olivier, take a deep breath and relax a little!

The issue is not race or color, the issue is the BEHAVOIR of a social CLASS.

If this poor opinion which you hold of Haitians is true, which I doubt, it is because of the efforts of the upper class to deprive majority-class Haitians of education!

Oh, so it's his fault all those people were killed?  Not the gunmen and the torturers, not the elite that paid them, but the courageous priest who refused to sell out his flock?  Unbelievable.

He said the mass because he listened to his conscience.  If the right wing elite had not paid for bloody murder, all those Haitians would not have been dead today!  I can't believe you are blaming the victims and not the killers!  It's outrageous.
