The question of whether the police force would (or could) remain politically
neutral was raised a few months ago.  I recall, in that i raised it.  There
was little discussion, however, and there has been little, if any, since
then.

Richard's statement is fraught with meaning for Haiti's future, IF the
interest in "democracy" is the goal.........(altho i have never been exactly
sure what this term means as applied to Haiti......at least, not yet)

Personally, i am waiting to see the direction Aristide will move.......He
does, in fact, have most of the power now.........
