I just visited the Google.news page, and this gem is up at the top:

Crowds Loot Haiti Port; Uprising Spreads
Crowds Loot Port As Uprising Spreads in Haiti After Bloody Battles Between Police, Gunmen

The Associated Press

ST. MARC, Haiti Feb. 8 — Hundreds of Haitians looted TV sets, mattresses and sacks of flour from shipping containers Sunday in this port town, one of several communities seized by rebels in a bloody uprising against President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

Using felled trees, flaming tires and car chassis, residents blocked streets throughout St. Marc a day after militants drove out police in gunbattles that killed two people. Many residents have formed neighborhood groups to back insurgents in their push to expel the president.

Now THIS, being in this hemisphere, and being a country where we have interfered and helped at varying times, THIS is a place that Dubya should pay some attention to. Lots of Haitian nationals living here in the U.S. Want to bet he doesn't do anything helpful? Maybe make a speech?

They don't have any oil, and they won't help get him elected. Unless he has rich republican friends with interests there, perhaps taking advantage of the cheap (non-existent) wages?
