ROD AMIS, our Editor and Publisher and a long-time supporter of Senator John Kerry, gives you another of his diaristic columns this week. "My Glass House" has been hailed as a WWW classic. This week's long and episodic piece redefines "three-dot journalism". Here's a snippet:
..AS HAITI'S FORMER PRESIDENT, JEAN BERTRAND ARISTIDE, DECAMPS this morning, I cannot but remind you, Lover, what was said in this space during the Clinton Administration's re-installation of that man. I called it bad policy then and a sham-version of supporting democracy in our hemisphere. As far as I was concerned then and still believe today, the United States has never, ever, in its long history of interventions, ever fostered democracy in another country. Never. U.S. intervention is a prescription for disaster. Ask the Serbs. Ask the Russians. And, yes, now, ask the Haitians.
As I look at His Fraudulency's failed reaction and his attempts at nation-building in the Middle East, you know what I think. I look on with disdain and remorse, as should you.
Our 100 Marines are in Haiti to make sure that they don't try boat trips to Florida. More Marines are on the way. That's a fact, my loves. You and I both know that this country has never been hot on Black immigrants.
And, as to how Aristide left the country, Yours Unruly only has one question: Who in his right mind would voluntarily choose to go to the Central African Republic? Kidnapped? Maybe. Coerced? Definitely.
The Bush Junta cut ALL, all, aid to Haiti on the first day they were in power. The Haitian insurgents miraculously made it from the Dominican Republic armed with American-made weapons that they miraculously found the money to buy. Do I need to connect all the dots for you?
Colin Powell is lying again. Again. This man has no honor
End Snippet.

It struck me the other day that I had only seen loving parents in movies or when visiting friends' homes. I wondered what my life would have been like if I had also had parents who loved me. Then I realized it was foolish to think about a life that never could have been. -- Rod Amis
