Yes, because on September 11, 2001, when terrorists went to the United States and put fire, killing people, President Bush and the world, we all said no to terrorism. Today, we have terrorists in Haiti after killing people, burning houses…
We had 32 coup d'etats; it's enough. We need now to respect the constitutional order. And I will leave the palace on February 7, 2006, which is good for our democracy.
The terrorists are here, but not better armed than you. You have the constitution as your compass, and democratic values as your weapons.
