I like how his name is Ak-Lover yet he has a MG3 as his picture...smoooth

As for Aristide, let the people decide who's in power. If they are willing to over-run the rest of the country I doubt Aristide has much of a chance left. Its just a matter how much blood gets spilled along the way.

[cut]

the revolution shall decide

[redhawk_six]

I say get him out of there. If a rebellion on that scale happened in Canada or the US, the leader would step down on his own. Too much blood has been spilled, get him out, let them elect a new leader, and this, for the most part, will end.

[Ichhabe]

From a egosentric point of view I hope this conflict come to an end very soon.

You see, I have an open invitation to go to Haiti and visit a former Police Chief there. But as for now, I stay home. :oops:

[martinexsquaddie]

don't really matter next person in charge won't be any better

[Salty Dog]

aristide is gone. some other guy is in charge right now, and i don't know about other countries, but the U.S. is sending in more Marines.

[NcDeuce]

Yup


Aristide leaves Haiti

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (CNN) -- Supreme Court Chief Justice Boniface Alexandre was installed Sunday as president of Haiti, replacing Jean-Bertrand Aristide in a transitional government.

The move came hours after Aristide resigned the presidency and left the country "to prevent bloodshed," he said in a statement read by Prime Minister Yvon Neptune.

Aristide asked for and received U.S. help in leaving Haiti, according to a senior State Department official, who did not give specifics of how the United States aided his departure.

The State Department official told CNN that international diplomats, who had pressured Aristide in recent days to step down, will back the interim government until elections can be held.

Administration officials said that the new government would likely be restructured to give more power to the prime minister and less to the president.

Political opposition leaders earlier had rejected the same proposal as long as it included Aristide, Haiti's first democratically elected president since it declared independence from France in 1804.

Aristide's term in office was not scheduled to end until 2006.

His departure came as armed rebels -- already controlling much of the Haiti's north and not associated with the political opposition -- had been closing in on Aristide's embattled government, saying they had moved to within 30 miles of the capital.

After Neptune's announcement that Aristide was out, gunfire could be heard in the streets of Port-au-Prince, although it was unclear whether it was celebratory. Ambulance sirens echoed across the city, and black smoke from burning barricades rose into the air.

U.S. administration officials told CNN they were considering sending several hundred Marines to Haiti as soon as Sunday, but they added that they would need an invitation from Haiti's new leader so that the force would not be seen as an invasion.

The force's main mission would be to repatriate Haitians trying to come to the United States by sea and to provide support for any possible future international peacekeeping force.

U.S. Ambassador to Haiti James B. Foley said Sunday he expected a "very rapid" deployment of an international force.

Aristide's destination was unclear. Earlier, officials in the Dominican Republic said they expected his arrival there. But Dominican officials in Washington said the ex-president did not go to their country, but instead stopped in Antigua before heading for an undisclosed destination.

The Dominican officials in Washington, however, said that some of Aristide's cabinet ministers went to the Dominican Republic.

Officials in Morocco and South Africa also denied reports that Aristide, a former priest, had asked to go to those countries. According to the state-run media in Morocco, officials there said they would not have responded favorably to such a request.

Aristide had spent last week refusing to step down, instead pleading for international help to put down the insurrection. The United States, France and the Caribbean nations had backed a proposal for a power-sharing, interim government, but the opposition said it feared Aristide would not hold up his end of the deal and refused to sign on.

After pro-Aristide gangs sent Port-au-Prince into a spiral of violence at the end of the week, the White House on Saturday issued a strongly worded statement that blamed the violence on Aristide.

"This long-simmering crisis is largely of Mr. Aristide's making," the statement said. "His failure to adhere to democratic principles has contributed to the deep polarization and violent unrest that we are witnessing in Haiti today. His own actions have called into question his fitness to continue to govern Haiti. We urge him to examine his position carefully, to accept responsibility, and to act in the best interests of the people of Haiti."

State Department officials told CNN that Secretary of State Colin Powell, French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin, Canadian Foreign Minister Bill Graham, Caribbean leaders, U.N. leaders and Haitian Roman Catholic bishops worked overnight to solve the crisis.

In 1990, Aristide became Haiti's first democratically elected president. He was overthrown in a 1991 coup, restored to power after intense pressure by U.S. officials in 1994 and won a new term in 2000 -- in elections his political opponents claim were fraudulent.

[ßå$tĮТHÏ¿ð]

Hey you can't hack into my computer! Thats illegal! :fork:

K Im going to explain the process to you since you lack the understanding. Every computer has a number, its reffered to as an "IP" address (short for internet protocol). Its what the computers use to send information back and forth to each other, otherwise the computer's wouldnt know what computer needs what information.

When you use things like internet forums, everytime you post/move a page your IP has to connect with the militaryphotos.net IP (64.90.178.90) to recieve the information requested.

Now lets say for example...some-one goes and makes 2 accounts and trys to lie about it. Its quite easy to figure it out, especially if your a MOD or the Site Admin. You can see the two matching IP address's, under different user names...its quite obvious.

There is ways of changing your IP or "masking" or using others IP address's, but most people dont have the care/nor need to do this.

That sums up bastardchilds informative article of the day...for any of you who didnt know ;)

[AK-Lover]

Hey thanks man! Really informative! :D :hug:

[Argyll]
