If you get a chance, be sure to read the book "All the Trouble in The World" by P.J. O'Rourke. It has a whole chapter on Haiti, including a great summary of their political history.
This was one of Clinton's "wins" wasn't it ?
Ah! That Clinton "legacy" just keeps on giving--
Yes, he marched right in there, threw out a pro-western government and installed a Marxist. I guess the Haitians haven't learned to appreciate their fantastic good fortune.

In the past 10 years - even during and after the invasion - Haiti has never lost its status as the primary Caribbean transshipment point for Columbian drug smugglers. If anything, its status has grown, and the Ariste government is up to its ears in it.

I hear that those rafts can get real leaky the closer that they get to shore.

That is why there will be wall to wall coverage! Of course President Bush will be blamed, probably run ads against him just like the ACLU did. He has no diversity and hey they need the votes.

Sending Marines to Hati would be as wasted an effort as sending rescue workers to a quake struck San Francisco.
