But wouldn't you agree that this was exactly the genie that President Aristide let out of the bottle during his tenure? Wasn't arming gangs within "the most desperate strata" his strategy for staying in power, since he didn't trust the military? And isn't that ultimately what led to his downfall (or at least was a major catalyst to his downfall), once he fell out with the Cannibal Army?
