You are suffering from a condition referred to as "blowback", you have spread some many half-truths and outright lies you don't even know what is true any more.
Guy Phillippe was the police chief and acting mayor in Cap Haitien the last time I was there, while not exactly Thomas Jefferson in his view of governing, his attitude was par for the course in Haiti, and that has nothing to do with anything Ameicans have done there. BTW, Phillipe was formerly Aristide's ally and actively worked to get him back in the presidency, when Aristide turned on his former supporters he was one of the most powerful, and one of the first to go.

And don't forget those quotation marks next time and a reference or link, or did you want people to actually think you know what you are talking about, and don't just repeatedly copy and paste facts you know little or nothing about.
