I think Aristide deserves explicit mention. It seems Dubya is getting what he asked for in Haiti. Yet another tragic case of screwing up badly. These guys are extremely dangerous. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Aaron S.

"democracy" and "liberation" is just like the old "red" herring of communism, just the other side of the coin needed after the cold war ended. the war on terrorism is the attempt to put another side on that coin. /a -- On Thu, 26 Feb 2004 [email protected] wrote: > The old bad guy is now the new good guy.
