To the editor:
To get an idea of how much our emporer cares about democracy, look at what happened to such in Haiti not so long ago.
President (Jean-Bertrand) Aristide was banished first to the Central African Republic, then he was given refuge in Jamaica, which lasted until Secretary (Condoleeza) Rice threatened that government to oust him immediately or "face the consequences".
All of this because Aristide was being "undemocratic", even though he was elected and reelected there by a 94 percent majority. So much for democracy in Haiti.
How about a little democracy right here in our own country? Or is it too late already?
