Yes, ...Dear Isome - Thanks for reading and posting. Yes, perhaps my posting was emotional. I suggest that you read Michael Deibert´s book Notes from the Last Testament to read exactly how Aristide betrayed the Left and his supporters. You will find, upon closer reading, that even you would feel betrayed.Elizabeth Eames Roeblinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483790483693405017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357357752085213364.post-92094531361741621672008-06-16T12:26:00.000-04:002008-06-16T12:26:00.000-04:00I don't get it... how do you know that everyone el...I don't get it... how do you know that everyone else was wrong but you and Aristide's detractors/accusers are right? What proof do you have?<BR/><BR/>What about the American security agent who attested to Aristide's version of events the date of his kidnapping? What about the admission of the American public official (videotaped by CSPAN no less) that in fact the US had forced Aristide to leave the country by threatening to allow the former FRAPH members to have a go at him?<BR/><BR/>Your post is all emotion/sentiment, but no discernible, verifiable facts? <BR/><BR/>Why are the poor people still his biggest supporters and the rich people of Haiti his biggest detractors? <BR/><BR/>Why is it that Preval, a friend of Aristide, was elected by a people who, according to the implication in your post, thought of Aristide as a brutal dictator?<BR/><BR/>Why were former members of FRAPH given US made weapons and allowed BACK into Haiti? Who did that, how did they do that?<BR/><BR/>- Isome - <BR/><BR/>isome.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357357752085213364.post-85630730761504478802008-01-29T10:31:00.000-05:002008-01-29T10:31:00.000-05:00i really enjoy reading your blog.the haitian confl...i really enjoy reading your blog.<BR/>the haitian conflict is amazing in and of itself, not to mention the mass migration of peoples across the border and lack of any attention from abroad. it's easier to pump money into africa... africa is far away. poverty and despair close to home are too painful.melanie.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10168270218912474662noreply@blogger.com
