PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Three thousand supporters of ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide marched on the U.S. and French embassies yesterday, shouting their anger at his removal. A seven-member council met for the first time to help form a transitional government. The protesters, a few with pistols tucked into belts, charged past embassies and the presidential National Palace, chanting "Long live Aristide!" and "Down with George Bush!"

"If it comes to that, we will confront the U.S. Marines," said demonstrator Pierre Paul, 35. "We will do the same thing that they are doing in Iraq."

How does someone that stupid even make it to 35?

Unless he means 'getting his a$$ kicked like a Viking at a Superbowl, he's sorely mistaken...

"Three thousand supporters of ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide"

Who would have thought that Jessie Jackson could have so many illegitimate kids?

I get the feeling that it would have been better, over the long term, to have simply not interferred and let the rebels enter tha capital, kill Aristide, and massacre his supporters

"Confront the US marines, they say"

You feel lucky? what are you going to confront the marines with, chickens?
