Until we impound the bank accounts of that part of the elite who fomented this coup. cut off their financial resources. and then suspend the foreign commercial aircraft who travel every day from Miami to PortauPrince. until those several things combined with the recommendations that the gentleman has reported on this floor. there is no way that the embargo can be more than a token. which gives rise to the growing suspicion about the lack of good faith that we are going about trying to close down these wagtag military thugs which are not highly organized. which do not have uptodate weaponry. who from my reports have only a few tanks. a few trucks. different kinds of hand weapons. many operating on their own without even any military supervision. And the only thing that they can use to maintain power is the terror of the gun. The only way that they can stay in power is to continue to terrorize. kill. and intimidate people. So what we are doing is forcing people to continue to emigrate any way they can to escape a condition that we are allowing to exist. So we have us contributing to. I hope it is inadvertently. the remaining in power of people that. considering other kinds of coups that have occurred. could be relatively easily brought down.
