Administration's Interest in Democracy Fictional

RECEIVED Thu., March 4, 2004

Dear Editor,
   Ever since Powell's ever-so-sincere speech to the UN about WMDs, etc., I've slipped into thinking of him as Powell the Unbelievable. So here he is now saying that it's absurd and ridiculous to think that the U.S. has kidnapped Aristede. Why on Earth would anyone even consider believing Powell anymore? He also said that Aristede wasn't behaving democratically. By that standard, Bush should join Aristede in the Central African Republic. Aristede was elected by 92% of the people. This was a U.S.-created coup led by the death squad leaders the U.S. trained, protected, and financed. And U.S. Marines took Aristede away. Whatever Powell and Cheney may decide to say. This administration's interest in democracy is entirely fictional.
Sincerely,
Marion Mlotok
