Canada has been in and out of Haiti for years. When there's been trouble there in the past, Canada has sent in military or RCMP at the Haitian government's request. In fact, I guess some of our people went in several days ago. I noticed that yesterday, some half-assed-written U.S. news article on Haiti mentioned somewhere way down near the bottom of the article that Canadian military were protecting the Haitian airport earlier in the week. Lots of Haitians in Canada and it was already expected that we'd have some people there regardless of who or what countries are involved. Your comment is no great news at all -- at least, not to a Canadian....

BTW I'm sure that since France and Canada and the UN are on board, the usual critics will refrain from criticizing Bush re. the Haiti intervention, right? That's not the reason. If folks bring up problems with US military intervention in Haiti they have to go back to Clinton's decision in 1994 to send in troops. And criticism of Clinton won't do, even though he put Aristide back in power and provided a large portion of the arms that the rebels are using -- shades of our arming the Afghans fighting Russia, which arms got turned against us.
