US involvement aside, I don't appreciate this Democracy Now group trying to stop a coup in a country where the majority of the citizens believe that the coup is necessary AND where there is evidence of crimes against humanity on the part of the leader being ousted. Many of my Haitian friends are making plans to fly back and fight the revolution - to die for this when they could remain comfortably here at college in the States. This sure makes me question all of the activist groups that tell me to write a letter to somebody in charge in order to tell them that I feel strongly about something that I just learned about by reading one-sided propaganda.
