U.S. President Bill Clinton's betrayal of democracy in Haiti is a first-order scandal that surpasses the humdrum affairs of heart and finance that characterize his career. He had a chance to reverse the direction of malevolent foreign policy followed for a dozen years. U.S. supporters of democracy in Haiti are angry, and a malevoment is growing with leadership by old antiapartheid organizations as well as the Congressional Black Caucus. They promise demonstrations and civil disobedience if necessary to convince Clinton that, at least this once, he must keep his word.
