And what about Haiti?

Vietnam and Korea damn well were "wars." Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one, as you should know. ;)

And what about Haiti? Just out of curiosity, what's your plan? Send in the troops? Watch Donald count them up over the next two years while the guerillas take pot shots at them? Teach the Haitians democracy?

All sarcasm aside, I personally would have no real problem with the U.S. and/or the U.N. going in there and sorting it out. Especially if, as Tony posted elsewhere, Aristide the Marxist Golden Boy invited us. Nor would I be all that bent out of shape if we stayed out of it.

I was just making the point how "different" intervention is for some liberals if their own agenda is served. Haiti is at least smaller than Iraq, within easy bomber range, and there won't be creeps over the borders flowing in to make trouble.
