Tonto, your post does bring to focus the fact that there is no Bush foreign policy besides Iraq. The country next door and the security problems it poses for the US has been ignored by Bush. Clinton, in co-operation with other nations of the world cut off aid to Haiti to promote democracy. What good is it for the US to promote democracy in Iraq when it does not do so in its own hemisphere. Take for example the current intense search for OSamam which is under way in Afghanistan. Do you think we should have done that a year or so ago and not kleft that as an unfinished task and diverted our attention to Iraq? Instead of Iraq, could we have done the same with Haiti? As your post points out, Aristide was also a brutal dictator ruling Haiti with his henchmen just as Saddam did. So the question still remains, why only Iraq? Where is th rationale (foreign policy) behind Bush's foreign activities? Miserable foreign policy failure, IMO
