Mr. Rossier,

I would be glad to oblige. If you are curious about Haiti's political culture 
and dynamic a good starting point would be Michel-Rolph Trouillot's Haiti, 
State against Nation: The Origins and Legacy of Duvalierism and Robert Fatton's 
Haiti's Predatory Republic: The Unending Transition to Democracy.  For 
Aristide's background as a seminarian and the influence on him of Liberation 
Theology consult any of his autobiographical writings. That Aristide's 
presidency was corrupt and authoritarian is not an accusation but a simple 
fact. If you have not managed to recognize this for yourself then I have no 
wish to disabuse you.
