...last-minute swerve away from a Haiti invasion isn't pleasing its chief beneficiary -- Jean-Bertrand Aristide. This morning the exiled Haitian President issued a terse statement that pointedly failed to mention the accord brokered Sunday by former President Jimmy Carter. Instead, he referred only to the 1993 Governors Island agreement that would have ousted the junta members who booted him two years earlier. Capitol Hill held no sympathy: "It's time for Jean-Bertrand Aristide to get real," a U.S. Representative said, voicing a common congressional sentiment.

U.S. officials downplay the possibility of lifting the three-decade-old embargo. "There is a paradox," the former Cuban Foreign Minister...
...Morocco became the second Arab country after Egypt to establish formal ties with Israel. The low-level diplomatic relations come after years of sketchy and often secret ties between the Jewish state and the North African country. Specifics of the arrangement sound a lot like the Israel-Jordan peace accord, with a strong focus on business interests.
