[lbo-talk] Haiti Coup and Left KneeJerks

[Joseph Wanzala]

Okay if you don't like the term 'coup', how about 'regime change'. The Bush 
administration clearly engineered the removal of a democratically elected 
President. Denouncement of this Bush operation is not 'knee-jerkism'. It is 
a justified response. Charles Rangel is no leftie, and even he was on 
Pacifica today denouncing this as a US operation and holding the Bush 
administration responsible.
