BlueSwede,

Actually, GWB is following in the footsteps of a Good Old Democrat, WJ Clinton! In 1994 the government of Haiti, under President Jonassaint was told to leave office.

"After receiving permission from President Clinton, Jimmy Carter, General Colin Powell, and Senator Sam Nunn (D-Ga.) flew to Haiti for negotiations on September 17, just thirty-six hours prior to the scheduled launch of the invasion forces..."
Clinton and Coercive Diplomacy: A Study of Haiti, Sarah Bermeo, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University, January 18, 2001
The agreement was signed on September 17. "The day after the agreement was signed American troops came ashore in Haiti under the command of Lieutenant General Hugh Shelton to help train police and rebuild the Haitian nation. A few weeks later leaders of the Cedras government left the country and Aristide returned on October 15, 1994, as agreed to in Carter-brokered agreement. " Ibid

Do you recall anyone protesting about the arrogance of President Clinton then? Although I try to keep up with foreign affairs, I sure don't.
