#1 What *did* happen to that Venezuelan team which showed up so photogenically at Port-au-Prince? Are they still in country, or was it just a "show the flag" sort of deal?

#5 Puerto Rico is a big enough pain. Why would we want to take Haiti, an island with no natural resources, a non-English speaking, desperately poor nation in a not particularly strategic position? There is no upside with Haiti. If we wanted to occupy a country, Venezuela would be a better bet.
