More than a week after the ouster of Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the world's press continues to whale on the United States for its role in events.
According to a commentator in Britain's Guardian, "The principal message to the Haitian people from Aristide's ouster is that force works. If you do not like the elected leader of the country, start a rebellion and refuse to negotiate. If it is strong enough, and its politics amenable enough, the Americans will come and finish the job for you." Washington has anointed itself with too much power, claimed an op-ed in Canada's Globe and Mail, "Insisting it will not support 'failed elected leaders,' the U.S. has arrogated to itself the right to choose which democracies deserve support?and which will perish."
