Essay / Research Paper Abstract
5 pages in length. What may have appeared to be a surprise rebellion enacted upon Aristide's Haiti in the beginning of 2004 has come to be better known as an American-backed coup to oust the Haitian president who perpetually rubbed the United States the wrong way. Aristide's "leftist rhetoric" (Kurlantzick, 2004) did not sit well with President Bush, and his less than humane tactics where violence was concerned did not win him support of his own people; however, Aristide's popularity appeared to be relatively stable if one was to believe the polls. This, therefore, is why the unexpected revolt took so many by surprise and initially did not evoke any indication of American involvement: It was automatically presumed that Haitians had tired of Aristide's devices and decided to take things in their own hands. It was not until the connection was made between demonstration leaders and the International Republican Institute (IRI) that the puzzle pieces began falling into place. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

presumed that Haitians had tired of Aristides devices and decided to take things in their own hands. It was not until the connection was made between demonstration leaders and
the International Republican Institute (IRI) that the puzzle pieces began falling into place (Kurlantzick, 2004). Providing the armed rebels with training and organizational assistance, the IRI - which was touted
as an organization created to "focus on nonpartisan, grassroots democratization efforts overseas" (Kurlantzick, 2004, p. 15) - instead was assembled to act as its own judge and jury when it
came to supporting efforts of those foreign factions "seeking the overthrow of elected but flawed leaders who are disliked in Washington" (Kurlantzick, 2004, p. 15). Financial backing is one
of the most critical components of such an objective. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) served as an integral player in the coup operation, inasmuch as it provided financial
support in both 2002 and 2003 for the benefit of training no fewer than six hundred Haitian leaders on the various nuances of political depose. The extent to which
IRIs covert agenda was the catalyst of these assemblages is both grand and far-reaching (Anonymous, 2004); that only those individuals who countered Aristides leadership were present at these gatherings speaks
