Reply #10: But what economic interests would said evil dictator be protecting?

[plurality]

Granted I don't know much about I Haiti, but I do know it is the poorest nation in the hemisphere.

Are there any vital resources there that it'd be worth this amount of trouble to control?

I know the government has done some unseemly things around the world, but it has always been for a purpose, protecting resources or business interests or the like. They don't just go around installing dictators for fun, so what strategic reason would the government have for wanting Aristide gone?
