Yet. shamefully. the Bush administration has decided that the thousands of Haitians who have fled in horror will be in no danger if they are returned. The human tragedy unfolding in Haiti is no less significant in this hemisphere than the invasion of Kuwait was In the Middle East. President Bush needs to take two actions immediately. First. until a political solution is obtained which restores democracy in Haiti. the United States and other countries should continue to offer a safe haven to Haitian refugees. Second. the President should take the leadership. as he did in the Persian Gulf. with the OAS and the international community. to help achieve stability in Haiti. We have insisted upon democracy thousands of miles across the oceans.
