When the President of the United States singlehandedly decided to bring down the generals because there was not a lot of support on our side of the aisle or the Republican side of the aisle. Democrats and Republicans were fearful of American casualties. as rightly we were. I think the President understood with his national responsibility that both for the United States. and particularly the State of Floridathat was dealing with refugees and crises on a regular basis on their social service network. the kind of scenes that my colleague from Florida just referenced in watching what had happened on that small island time and time again where the hope of the people of Haiti was dashedthat he understood how important it was for our hemisphere. for the United States. and for Haiti. The Presidents policy not only succeeded. it succeeded more than any of us dared dream. As that policy succeeded to remove the generals. to restore the rightfully elected president. the naysayers immediately began that there would be no election in Haiti.
