No more lip service

International | HAITI: Haitians want democracy, but not the Jean-Bertrand Aristide brand | Mindy Belz

Charles Amicy did not stick around to see how long Jean-Bertrand Aristide would hold onto power. With the president's paramilitary units setting up roadblocks and concrete pipe barriers to keep rebels out of the capital, the Haitian pastor, his wife, and four children made a precarious escape from Port-au-Prince Feb. 25 to fly to the United States, where they hope to find temporary sanctuary from sudden civil war.

Haiti has seen anti-government uprisings before. But this one is very different, according to Mr. Amicy. "More and more, Haitian people realize that Mr. Aristide is not willing to do anything for this country. Even people who were with him have turned against him because of the way Aristide is running the country. We need someone who will love Haiti and not say it only on his lips."
