...short, the answer is the president's willingness to listen to Jimmy Carter. The ex-president's dramatic diplomacy avoided an invasion and allowed the peaceful deployment of American troops. But there were conditions, the primary one being that the junta would remain in power, and the Haitian police in control, until October 15, the date set for President Aristide's return.

Raoul Cedras and junta supporters. TIME correspondent Bernard Diederich, who was there, said hundreds of jubilant Haitians surrounded the building, chanting "Handcuff Cedras!" as U.S. troops stood by.
