#1 So I guess he won't be hightailing it to Miami at the earliest possible moment? Sure. Right.

#3 Mike:

While I was there I had a chance to walk past his tomb. Judging from the smashed ruins of his grave, I'd say he is picking up the pieces!

(If I knew how to post the photo of the ruins I would. Unfortunately I work only with film.)

#4 Great!!! Aristide wants to die for his country?... Let him! The Marines can always take the island back. If necessary. Then install a 'Bought & Paid For' ruler once Aristide is dead!

#5 Jack, like Colin Powell I have no enthusiasm for any American involvement in Haiti. Although many people watch and enjoy Gilligan's Island, very few of us want to be the dude getting hit in the head with the coconuts.

#6 No, no, no!!! I said "ready to fly"! Fly! Not die! No, no, no! None of that!

#7 Dragon Fly -
I didn't realize Baby Doc had shuffled off this mortal coil. On the other hand, in Haiti that isn't necessarily a problem...

#10 I might be wrong but Baby Doc fled to France and spends his loot on the Cote d'Azur there. Wouldn't know if he died already but then again... he's Haitian.

As for Aristide dying for his country... err I remember another dictator saying this... before he got checked for lice.

#11 I think he may have been saying Baby Doc and meaning Papa Doc.

I hope he's still dead, anyway...

#12 Correction: Baby Doc Lives... but he's broke!
