As ever, Esser and the white rent-a-revo crowd
omfortably living abroad have no practical
solution to Haiti's mess, other than chanting for
the return of a leader who badly screwed up
without the help of the last-minute external
nudge that provided the armchair crew with a
convenient cover-up for Aristide's incompetence
and helped them to peddle his barefaced lie that
he was "kidnapped."

Esser also repeats the tired old myth about
"outside observers" certifying the credibility of
Aristide elections.  Apart from the OAS initial
approval before it realised the counting fraud in
the 2000 elections, those observers were
overwhelming pro-Aristide solidarity groups --
hardly impartial -- gagging to rubber-stamp an
imaginary "popular revolution" in line with their
"laboratory" games at the expense of the Haitian
people.

Ask the thinking left (both Haitian and foreign)
who lived in Aristide's Haiti for 10 years
growing ever more disillusioned and horrified at
what was unfolding.

You said it, Esser.  By definition, a reign can't
be democratic.  But Aristide did indeed comport
himself like a monarch.
