#1 The US should take a very thin sector that extends the length of the Dominican border. Let's not let the Tonton Macoutes slip away to disturb peace and justice at a later date.

#3 Give the Frenchies the quietest sector, for their sake.

I dunno... supposedly these are Legionnaires. Maybe for when their regular-army replacements come?

#4 Shipman, although we have tried that one in the past, the duct tape solution can yet be successful. All we would have to do is have a bunch of frigates patrol the contiguous waters ramming escape canoes trireme style. Nation building in Haiti becomes a national interest for the United States when the satellite photos detect massive numbers of dugouts being fashioned on the Haitian beaches. ....
I can't believe that I am spewing a rationale for continued involvement in a society where I could buy voodoo dolls at the five-and-dime. We are truly riding a whirlwind in this decade. If Charley Rangle sends me an autographed picture, I'll start checking around corners looking for Rod Steiger.
