Hombres armados is definitely a good cinematic reference here. I don't see how you can say, JustiFied, that The Revolution Will Not Be Televised makes you feel paranoid, and still use a phrase like Aristide was the source of instability and "he had to go."
I wonder whyever they would say such a thing!They were saying that U.S. marines led him away in handcuffs to an undisclosed location.
Yes, indeed they do.My opinion is that the Bush Administration really just wants stability in Haiti. . .
And one could ask as with Iraq but more obviously, "What is the danger from that country to us?" And what does "stability" mean, and what is the advantage of it to "us"?
What does "He had to go" mean? Who decides? What about elective democracy?
I can say Bush "has to go," but I would mean he should be voted out, or at the most radical impeached, not that he should be driven from office or kidnapped and taken to the Central Republic of Africa. Though some have suggested that he be flown to Mars, that is only a joke!
It seems like Americans have a double standard, one for ourselves, and another for everybody outside the First World.
