Bdos: Bah! humbug! virtue in abandonment

I am glad that CARICOM has turned its full attention to Haiti over this past week. It took a while, but at least the Heads of State came to a united position that no CARICOM country was going to assist peacekeeping efforts in Haiti. That’s good to hear, to me anyway. Had CARICOM decided otherwise it would be in a sense supporting the US‚ taking over the initial responsibility of restoring order in that country, and with ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide claiming that the Americans forced him out of the country, it is not a situation that any country should want to jump into too hastily.

Of course, no matter what happens, Caricom must never be seen as supporting the U.S. ... except, of course, when the U.S. forks over taxpayer dollars to provide funds for fighting crime, or something like that.
