#1 U.N. plan to reward gangsters. The U.N. is run by a bunch of political gangsters, so this is a way into their minds.

Give gangsters the gift of lead.

#3 Iraq? Why insult Iraq?

How many real free elections have there been in Haiti? How many parties that are not just fronts for gunmen are there?

Has the Haitian economy grown as fast as the Iraqi? Has the infrastructure of electrical, clean water, and rail grown as fast? Do they have vehicular grid lock in Port-au-Prince these days? How many internet connections are there today? How many newpapers and televisions are there? Etc, etc, etc.

#4 Well, O.K. I didn't mean to demean the progress in Iraq.

How about Vietnam-like quagmire?

#6 My recipe for Haiti:

Build a wall between Haiti and the Dominican Republic!
Cut off ALL aid!
Sever ALL communications links to the outside world.
Enforce a complete Sea & Air blockade.
Check back in 20 years.
Rinse and Repeat as required.
