#2 Is Haiti running out of under-aged girls, boys, and goats already? Geeze!

At least the UN could have rationed itself.

#7 It's not just the armed gangs in Haiti that are causing problems. There's non-Haitian NGOs and individuals who still back Aristide and have been doing their best to foul up the operation.

#8 Officials said that similar requests are being considered for other countries, including Canada and France. "We want scarier troops,"

The scarier troops would rule out France and Canada. Unless the Foreign legion came to play.
Too bad those militaries are such a pathetic shadow of their former selves.

#9 Send troops from Spain - they're certainly not using them.

#10 "We want scarier troops," one senior U.N. official said.

Come out and say it, asshole. You want American troops. Preferably big scary Marines with big scary guns that they aren't afraid to use. Like Shipman says, it worked in the past.
Too bad for you it ain't gonna happen, UN boy...

#12 Aristide was expelled, but still causes trouble, a la Charles Taylor? Kill him and see how things settle down

#15 I think we are low on troops, but we might have some 25K UAW workers available soon. Some are pretty scary.
