The U.S. brokered the agreement under which Aristide, who is living in Washington, was to be restored to power; it was signed on American soil, Governors Island in New York Harbor, in July. In a letter in June to American ambassadors around the world, Secretary of State Warren Christopher ranked Haitian policy among the Administration's major achievements. But now the agreement is severely threatened, just as events in Somalia have brought the Administration's foreign-policy competence under new questioning. And the timing is no coincidence.
