Thanks. It's true--> First French Troops Arrive in Haiti Reuters - 5 minutes ago PARIS (Reuters) - A contingent of about 50 French troops arrived in the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince Monday to protect French nationals caught up in the bloody armed rebellion there, a Defense Ministry spokeswoman said. Chaos reigns as Aristide flees Haiti Ottawa Citizen Shock, chaos after Aristide leaves San Jose Mercury News Montreal Gazette - Forbes - Washington Post - Voice of America - and 2710 related » news.google.com 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.... Wait a minute. The UNSC only approved the peacekeeping forces last night. This would mean Canada went in without UN advance approval? I'm aghast! What are the Canadians - a bunch of international law flouting cowboys?
