Quite ironic statement, given its exactly what Bush is... 'a corrupt millionaire'.
Do you have links to support your claims that Arstide was a "Corrupt Millionaire" ?

Wow... how amazingly ignorant ignorant of you.
Completely ignorant of the past month in Haiti to try some revisionist historical work.
start by reading Colin Powell words...
Quote:
"We will accept no outcome that is not consistent with the constitution. We will accept no outcome that in any way illegally attempts to remove the elected president of Haiti.."

even further, Bush
COULDN'T have "negotiated an exile for the corrupt ruler"... If the US Administration was trying to negotiate a "power-sharing, interim government" which would
INCLUDE Aristide.

Bush administration officials said that the new government would likely be restructured to give more power to the prime minister and less to the president.
Political opposition leaders earlier had rejected the same proposal as long as it included Aristide, Haiti's first democratically elected president since it declared independence from France in 1804.
Aristide had spent last week refusing to step down, instead pleading for international help to put down the insurrection.
The United States, France and the Caribbean nations had backed a proposal for a power-sharing, interim government, but the opposition said it feared Aristide would not hold up his end of the deal and refused to sign on...
...State Department officials told CNN that Powell, Graham, French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin, Caribbean leaders, U.N. leaders and Haitian Roman Catholic bishops worked overnight to solve the crisis.
In 1990, Aristide was elected president. He was overthrown in a 1991 coup, restored to power after intense pressure by U.S. officials in 1994 and won a new term in 2000 -- in elections his political opponents claim were fraudulent.

finally, Lawson its becoming Self-Evident why you
support the removal of Aristide - the FIRST democratically ELECTED leader of Chile..
Simple - you support Right Wing Totalitarian Dictatorships...
otherwise, why else do you support the removal of an "elected leader"?
