ANNOUNCER: Bringing you the world for 20 years, this is CNN.</s>RICHARD BLYSTONE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Cedras was a general, but he was also, in a way, the leading figure of the wealthy and the property owners in Haiti. The military had expelled Jean-Bertrand Aristide from Haiti after his election as president. A very interesting and very effective trio of Americans came to visit him. One was Jimmy Carter, the ex-president with his reputation as a peacemaker. Another was Sam Nunn. And most important was Gen. Colin Powell. It's generally thought that, of these three men, it was Gen. Powell who persuaded Cedras that stepping down was the thing to do. And this was not easy, but what the point that Gen. Powell made to Gen. Cedras was, it's a matter of military honor and military duty to preserve the lives of your people. The argument was that something was about to happen that's going to be inevitable. You will get beaten. The best thing for you to do is to step down and go into exile. And that's what he did.
