#2 "The peacekeepers were nowhere near where the shooting was,"

That's because they didn't want to get killed, idiot. There's a good reason that terrorists in Iraq don't attack us head on.

As Jeff Foxworthy would say: Here's your sign.

#3 The peacekeepers were nowhere near where the shooting was," - I guess they were close enough. Sight alignment and trigger control.

#4 Ah...the fun is beginning.

I can understand wanting to write off Aristide but I think the administration is going to discover it was too clever by half waiting till total chaos set in before intervening.

#6 I agree with you Hiryu, a major assault by the 1 st MEU prior to the chaos would have been better. I think a Sunday last August would have been ideal.

#7 I was going to link a Newsday article titled, U.S. Support for Democracy Hurt in Haiti but my computer is operating slowly tonight. Most of it's contents is a repeat, but it has one of the best quotes I have ever heard from Boucher. At a press briefing Richard B said, "we can't be called upon, expected or required to intervene every time there's violence against a failed leader. Because we can't spend our time running around the world or the hemisphere saving people who have botched their chance at leader." I find his attitude delightfully chilly.
