As I said earlier, it's an ugly situation, and removing an elected president from power is an ugly thing to do. Granted, there was some ballot stuffing going on in the 2000 elections, and Aristide doesn't seem that well liked, but he did have some legitimacy, and we trampled all over it. The US isn't a country that forces presidents to resign at gunpoint in the middle of the night.

The outcome might be good, but I still find that distasteful.
