Well, as per usual, the Bush foriegn policy is driven by, ahhhh, *whats-left-to-steal-there*... Heck, Bush despises democracy as an annoying little exercise... He's even said, hlaf jokingly, that being a dictator would be a lot easier.

Well, in a country with so little in the way of resources and rampant poverty, it's no wonder that Aristide is "outta here". Sure, folks can point out specfics about him but bottom line, without sufficient support from the international community, his administartion was doomed, as will be the next one and the one after that.

But Bush has so bungled the US's relationships with the international community that, with so many hot spots in the world these days, the US has tied its own hands behind its back.

If for no other reason than this, it is imparative that a new asministartion come yto power in the US becasue the currewnt one is incapable of cleaning up after itself.
