Hmmmm, let's see...

Aristide has been in power for how long? And Haiti has improved in what way(s)? Still the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. 70% unemployment, the nation has been stripped of trees for fuel, the removal of trees has allowed the topsoil to run off into the streams and ocean. The nation as a whole is completely reliant on international aid.

Despite US/UN intervention which kept Arisitide in power less than 10 years ago, he's being overthrown again. I can't say I blame the "insurgents".
