Mr. Speaker, one can decide on a strategy and hope it will succeed, but one must also realize the strategy may fail and plan accordingly.
In this case, the military junta has not budged so far. In fact, it has hardened its position and become out and out arrogant, witness the recent inauguration of a puppet president to head a puppet government.
I want to ask the minister whether all this hesitation on his part merely means that he will probably wait until the Haitian president's term is up and then realize that nothing more can be done and that all these measures were strictly dilatory measures.
