Neil MacDonald (reporter):
Caribbean leaders have proposed sending help, possibly foreign policing assistance, while pushing Aristide to accept a sharing of political power. Canada and the U.S. accept that plan, others, though, say Aristide prefers violence to cooperation with his opponents? Do you think that Aristide has to go in order for the situation to be fixed?
James Morrell (Haiti Democracy Project):
Yes.
Neil MacDonald (reporter):
And how can that be accomplished?
James Morrell (Haiti Democracy Project):
I think you can grease the skids in various ways, and the policy-makers know how to do that.
Neil MacDonald (reporter):
But even if Aristide goes, there are probably other would-be rulers just around the corner. And Haiti’s history suggests none of them would be much different. Neil MacDonald, CBC News, Washington.
