The Washington Post <a href=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A53109-2004Feb18.html">complains about Bush's foreign policy:

After restoring Mr. Aristide to power in 1994 and abolishing the army that previously ruled the country by dictatorship, the United States failed to follow through. U.S. forces were pulled out after only two years -- they are still in Bosnia and Kosovo eight and five years, respectively, after they arrived -- and all aid to the government was suspended after Mr. Aristide's party tampered with the results of a congressional election. Some of the military's former death-squad leaders command the gangs that would seize power.

But the Bush administration would rather leave the answers to Caricom or the United Nations or France. It's an inexcusable abdication.
