HAITI

The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Sunday night to send a multinational peacekeeping force to Haiti for up to three months.

Those who complain about the costs of re-building Iraq should remember that we spent money and put our soldiers in danger in Haiti for an unclear cause. There was no justification for entering Haiti that couldn't have been made for Cuba. The only difference was that invading Cuba would have served a vital U.S. interest.

I only link this because I hope my pal Steve Whitaker will comment on his experiences as a soldier in Haiti during the original invasion.
