two solution pResident
we pretty much know that bush*'s answer to every problem with the economy is to give tax cuts to his buddies

the other solution to world events is to invade a country or otherwise use the military

Haiti is a prime example of his military solution. The recent uprising/revolution in Haiti has been in the papers for a couple of weeks. But we know that this type of event has been building for many months, and we can safely assume that bush* inc. has know about it for many months.

bush* basically took a hands-off approach to Haiti, he did send in a couple of people to check out the US Embassy safety, and later sent in a small group to protect the US Embassy. But as far as the news has reported -- this is all he had done.

supposedly he did get involved in a "political solution" a day or two ago -- too little too late, and he did order the coast guard to intercept refugees and send them back to Haiti.

More recent events are now pointing to some sort of US military intervention to stabilize Haiti.

bush* is now urging Aristide to leave Haiti. Some say Aristide tampered with the elections that got him into office, others say Aristide was legitimately elected. (sound familiar???)

What this indicates is bush*'s handling of foreign events is to sit back-do nothing, wait till it explodes and then send in troops.

Kerry says U.S. fueled conflict in Haiti

John Kerry is pointing to the worsening crisis in Haiti as an example of failed Bush administration foreign policy.

BY PETER WALLSTEN -- Posted on Fri, Feb. 27, 2004

Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry accused President Bush's administration Thursday of fomenting conflict in Haiti out of ideological opposition to President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

Kerry called on Bush to name Florida Sen. Bob Graham, one-time rival for the Democratic nomination, to be a special envoy to the Caribbean nation to negotiate a peaceful resolution between Aristide and the rebels threatening to oust him from power.

Debating his Democratic rivals Thursday night in Los Angeles, Kerry accused the White House of withholdnig aid to Haiti until the opposition reached a power-sharing agreement with Aristide -- an approach that he said ensured the rebels would keep fighting.

''This administration has been engaged in very manipulative and wrongful ways,'' Kerry said. ``They have a theological and an ideological hatred for Aristide. They always have. They approached this so the insurgents were empowered by this administration.''

3. 3rd solution: change the laws to reflect his personal morality
his supporters are big business (the tax cut solution), neo-conservatives (invading countries), and intolerant Christians (abortion law changes, constitutional amendment, etc.).
