"Throughout the 20th century, the U.S. military intervened repeatedly in Haiti. From 1915 to 1934, the U.S. Marines even occupied the country. During that time, they dissolved Haiti’s parliament, instituted martial law and created the thuggish Haitian army. That army—containing senior officers on the CIA’s payroll— overthrew a democratically-elected Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1991. The remnants of it, with U.S. help, have just done it again.
In 1994, Bill Clinton, a Democrat, threatened to invade Haiti if the Haitian military did not restore Aristide to power. But George W. Bush, a Republican, having less use for the left-leaning leader, has now forced him out. "
