. <BR>According to <BR>Waters, the diplomats reportedly told the Haitian =
president that if he <BR>did <BR>not leave Haiti, paramilitary leader Guy=
Philippe would storm the <BR>palace and <BR>Aristide would be killed. Ac=
cording to Waters, Aristide was told by the <BR>US <BR>that they were wit=

R>Coalition condemns the U.S.-led coup carried out today <BR>against the =
elected president of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand <BR>Aristide, as well as the U.=
S. occupation of that country. <BR>U.S. marines have entered Haiti tonigh=
t (February 29). <BR><BR>Whether President Aristide was actually kidnappe=
d by U.S. <BR>forces, as some sources have reported, or was just <BR>pres=
ented with 'an offer he couldn't refuse,' there is no <BR>question that W=
ashington played the decisive role in this <BR>regime change. The coup in=
Haiti is reminiscent of similar <BR>deadly CIA operations in Iran, Guate=
mala, the Congo, Chile <BR>and numerous other countries in the last half-=
century. <BR><BR>The removal of President Aristide follows more than a <B=
R>century of U.S. intervention in Haiti, and years of <BR>destabilization=
designed to bring about the destruction of <BR>the Aristide government. =
This negation of Haiti's <BR>democracy and sovereignty by the U.S. comes =
as the country <BR>is marking its 200th anniversary of independence which=
<BR>followed the heroic revolt against slavery and the <BR>creation of t=
he first free Black republic in the Western <BR>Hemisphere. <BR><BR>Since=
the election of Aristide to a second term in late <BR>2000 with 92% of t=
he vote, Washington has maintained <BR>economic sanctions against the poo=
rest country in the <BR>Western Hemisphere. Sanctions have had the intend=
ed effect <BR>of wearing down the people and popular support for the <BR>=
Aristide government by denying food, medicine and other <BR>necessities o=
f life to the population. Haiti's poverty <BR>today is a direct result of=
centuries of slavery and <BR>exploitation for the benefit of corporate i=
nterests in <BR>France and the U.S. <BR><BR>In addition, the U.S. has ext=
ended financial and political <BR>support to the so-called "Democratic Co=
nvergence," the <BR>right-wing opposition. According to a story in today'=
s <BR>Miami Herald, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher <BR>said t=
oday that the U.S. "facilitated" Aristide's <BR>departure. Ira Kurzban, a=
n Aristide spokesman in Miami, <BR>said he believed "U.S. intelligence ag=
encies were involved <BR>in the ouster. ... This was a major operation by=
the <BR>intelligence agencies of the U.S." <BR><BR>Congressperson Charle=
s Rangel, a member of the <BR>Congressional Black Caucus, said that the U=
.S. government <BR>is "just as much as part of this coup d'etat as the <B=
R>rebels, looters or anyone else." (ABC's "This Week," Feb. <BR>29, 2004)=
<BR><BR>According to Reuters, U.S. civil rights leader Jesse <BR>Jackson=
called Aristide's resignation an <BR>"American-assisted coup," and U.S. =
Rep. Maxine Waters, a <BR>California Democrat, demanded to know where the=
Haitian <BR>leader was being taken one day after he told her "he would <=
BR>rather die than leave." "When I last talked to him <BR>(Aristide) yest=
erday, he was not going to leave. He said <BR>he would rather die than le=
ave. And then I wake up this <BR>morning and I find out that my governmen=
t has landed at <BR>his home with Marines. How did they get him to leave?=
What <BR>did they do? And where is he?" Waters said in an interview <BR>=
with CNN. <BR><BR>The Bush Administration has arrogantly and illegally <B=
R>embarked on a policy of "regime change" in Afghanistan, <BR>Iraq, Haiti=
and elsewhere. On March 20, the first <BR>anniversary of the start of th=
e unprovoked war of <BR>aggression against Iraq, people around the world =
will take <BR>to the streets in massive numbers. We will demand: Bring <B=
R>the Troops Home Now and End Occupation from Iraq to <BR>Palestine and E=
verywhere. We will also be marching to <BR>oppose the criminal role of th=
