Arestide only sin was that he demanded repatriation from France. If he was that bad he would not be enjoying an almost 80% approval rating from his voters before he left. There has been no allegation of vote rigging or electoral irregularities.
When they(Canada, France & USA) forcibly removed him, did the country get better? On the contrary the country suffered a disaster which placed it 100 years behind time. Is that some divine retribution?
Aristide should remain in exile, he has tried and failed to bring peace and prosperity to Haiti, his return will further destabilize this troubled country.
