there is no way that the bush administration gives one flying poop about
these
meritorious cries from CARICOM.  i mean, bush/rice/powell & co. totally
dismissed the UN, France, and almost the entire world in invading Iraq,
and at
what cost?  500 american soldiers, not counting the 4 who were mutilated
yesterday.  no skin of bush's back, clearly. meanwhile haiti has become
lovers'
lane for paris to kiss and makes up with washington. and so the post-cold
war
global status quo remains in tact.  offensive? yes. supremacist? clearly.
immoral, without doubt.  inevitable? i am afraid so.
whatever one thinks of aristide, the simple fact is that he is no longer
president of haiti because USA and France do not want him to be, democracy
be
damned. it really does boil down to that.  CARICOM... whose own population
it
has just halved by kicking out haiti, is a butter knife in this affair of
machetes... hate to say it, but it sure seems that way.
