P.S. By the way, I must point out that whatever Frum's opinion of Aristide actually is/was, we've gone quite far afield of the actual subject of the article, which was how Haiti supposedly tells us something about "neo-cons". Which is nonsense.

O.K. You and I are not so far apart, except as to the idea of intervening in other cultures.

But my dragging Frum into this is simply my way of mocking his outrageous proposal--the one that Pat Buchanan debunked a week or so ago--to have America involved in trying to change the culture of a large swathe of the Asian world. Obviuosly if meddling does not work very well, a short distance off shore, it is not likely to work much better on the other side of the earth.
