IN 2003, BUSH 2 HAD HIS IRAQ FIASCO - AND WILL LOSE THE ELECTION.

The Aristide Years:
1990: Haiti's first democratically elected president
1991: Overthrown in military coup; exiled to US
1994: Reinstated; forbidden from standing for second consecutive term
2000: Wins contested elections
2004 - Jan: Haiti celebrates 200 years of independence, amid growing political protests
Feb 10: (approx) Exiled rebel leaders cross back into Haiti; capture north of country
Feb 29: Aristide leaves Haiti

US state department spokesman Richard Boucher said: "At President Aristide's request, the United States facilitated his safe departure from Haiti."
AT HIS REQUEST? WHERE IS THAT BRIDGE THAT WAS FOR SALE?

The unrest which has gathered pace in recent weeks stems from disputed elections in 2000, which the opposition says were rigged in Mr Aristide's favour.
IF TRUE, BUSH SHOULD BE PROUD OF ARISTIDE. REMEMBER FLORIDA?

It is the second time Mr Aristide has been forced into exile. He was ousted in 1991 in a coup within months of becoming Haiti's first democratically elected leader.
UNDER BUSH 1. SOUND FAMILIAR?

He was restored to power three years later by a US-led military intervention.
UNDER CLINTON.

AND YOU CAN BET KERRY WILL BRING ARISTIDE BACK WHERE HE BELONGS.
