[Marxism] Blood On WHOSE Hands?

Blood On WHOSE Hands?

"(Jamaican Prime Minister P.J.) Patterson is making a very big mistake,"
opposition leader Charles Baker, a wealthy industrialist, said in an
interview.  "Aristide will inflame passions and give more fuel to his
assassins.  If people are killed in Haiti with Aristide in Jamaica,
Patterson will have part of the blood on his hands."

But wait.  J'accuse!
The current crisis developed from the instigation of those opposed to
the democratically elected President Aristide.  The increasing
intransigence of the opposition opened the door for the opposition
military to slaughter a hundred or so Haitians, and force down, and out,
the Lavalas democracy.  By Charles Baker's very own logic, his hands are
drenched, stained, and drip with gore.
