#1 Um, Dems? Wasn't there this matter Aristide's fraud, ballot stuffing and other shenanigans in the 2000 election?

Democratically elected, my ass.

#2 the dems just to want to make bush look bad.

if we did nothing - then we are ignoring the will of the people and supporting a tryant.

once we do something then we are meddling in the affairs of a soverign nation, making undemocratic changes. now where were this dems when clinton installed aristide? oh i forgot prez sleeze was also a dem.

#5 Screw it. Fly his skinny ass back. But make sure all the locals know the arrival time at Shithole International Airport so they can welcome the beloved leader back. If he won't get off the plane, boot his ass off.

#6 I wouldn't put it past the French to have put the conspircy ideas into Aristdes head and provided the rolodex numbers of idiot congressmen. The French would love to see Bush lose the election in Nov, and Aristide can do the libral lecture/book circuit into retirement in the South of France.

Where is Baby Doc living these days?

#8 I'm not sure which is more important to my mornings, coffee or Chuck Asay! Every day, day after day, a priceless gem.

I think it's only proper that these congresscritters do their research on-site - and not in one of the major hotels in Port-au-Prince. They should be forced to do all their work in Cap Hatien, Mirebalais, and Saint Marc. Talk to the local people about how much they "love" Aristide and Baby Doc. Ask them about how much these tin rectums have done for them. Ask about how they hate the US "unilaterally" removing Aristide.

They may get some answers they don't like, but I think it's absolutely essential they do these things before we listen to a word they say.

#9 Once again the Democrats prove themselves to be on the wrong side of a democracy-vs.-thugocracy debate.

Please make sure that your Democrat friends realize that it is no longer the party of Scoop Jackson or Truman or Kennedy. It is fully the party of the far left now.

#10 eLarson--take your head outta your ass--It's the Republican Party that has been hi-jacked by the loonie "Christians" and right wing nutz. The polite Country Club Republicans in Connecticut have been replaced by Tom DeLay and his fire breathing Texas posse
