Like him or not, he is the elected leader. Does the USA want to preserve democracy or not?
For bonus credit, research how Saddam Hussein came to power. Apply that research to the Haiti situation, and draw conclusions about what Haiti will turn into if we allow the coup to happen.

So, sending military forces should be the first response? What ever happened to ridiculing Bush for not using diplomacy?
Do you believe Haiti will become another Iraq?
How about reading up on the past "leaders" of Haiti and the impact the US has had on resolving the conflicts there in the past? It was just a couple of years ago that we sent forces to "stabilize" Haiti, obviously it does not work.
Doing the same thing and expecting different results, not a good plan in my book.
