#1 The curtain falls...scene two begins. Wonder what will happen. Too bad we can't do a Germany or Japan. But France and the UN will no doubt provide a superior multilateral solution that will assure the aide flows and the misery persists.

Aid from the pockets of the American taxpayer. I'm not sure Aristide leaving will help matters though since it just leaves a power vaccume. If anything, more fighting will take place over who's in charge now.

#3 Fox was saying that the Dominican stop was for refuelling. We shall see.

#4 Heard he was on his way to South Africa. Don't know if that's the final stop. Maybe he's taking my advice and moving in with Chuck.

#5 being a former priest limited his options - no Idi Amin exile in Soddy for him!

#6 So much for that "dying for my country" shit. I wasn't shocked. Maybe head for Zimbabwe? Get a nice deal on a farm from Bob?

#7 Well, now the TV stations are reporting he will end up in Morocco. Morocco?????

#12 Morocco?????
I think they act as 'bolt hole of last resort' for distressed dictators, didn't Mobutu live out his last months there as an 'honoured guest' of King Hasan II? Suppose it's preferably to Zim, ask Mengistu. Obsessively trying to gauge the ZANU regime's chances of survival & phoning Kimmie on regular basis to check that you'll still be welcome in the DPRK if anything happens to Bob must get a bit stressful (well I certainly hope so!)

#13 Another Clinton mess left to clean up. Does anyone still doubt how useless those eight years were in the White House?

#14 Anybody here know anything about Haiti, really? Like, how much of the population make up the opposition? (8%) And who, up until recently, has supported Aristide as the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT? (Colin Powell) And who owns a majority of the news organisations, from whom AP and REUTERS get most of their info? (the opposition).

#15 8% of the Population? Damn, I guess the other 92% are just out-classed.

#16 Democratically Elected? Dude, we're talking about a Fourth World shithole here. This place needs colonizing by someone more competent than the French. And no I don't mean the US. (I wonder who we could sucker into it? Anyone have any ideas? Maybe we could put it up for bid?)

#17 UPDATE: I just read that Panama has granted Aristide asylum. How ironic! I wonder if Raoul Cedras has an extra room.
