[news] & quot; Progressive& quot; Latin American Leaders Support the Coup in Haiti

[Resist!ca]

ABC of Opportunism By STAN GOFF After a coup d'etat planned, coordinated, and 
executed by the most reactionary elements in Haiti, with the substantial 
material support of the governments of the United States and its ever-obedient 
Dominican Republic, the proud nation of Haiti is again under foreign military 
occupation. The shameful fact, however, is that this time the occupation is 
being carried out by not only by the French, whose savage imperial history 
there is well known, and by the Canadians (perennial handmaidens of the US), 
but by Argentina, Brazil, and Chile--three nations who have themselves been 
victimized by the covert operations establishment of the United States, and 
governments who are making the now-specious claim that they are "progressive."
