30450: Roebling (reply) re:30411: Kevin Pena's film (fwd)

I think that the reason that Pena's work is being portrayed as being 
"pro-Aristide" is that it is being promoted by the (pro-Aristide?) Haiti action 
groups, the IJDH, and through them now by WILPF (Women's International League 
for Peace and Freedom). There appears to be an emphasis within these groups on 
pulling out the UN forces, on the violence perpetrated during the interim 
regime, and a general lack of acknowledgement of the gang violence within Cite 
Soleil, the kidnappings and rapes among the population, or the fact that 
MINUSTAH was operating under directions from the Preval government. The 
question is whether these groups have at their core the interests of a calm and 
stable Haiti or are focused on the return of Aristide as the rightful 
president, to serve out the balance of his term.
