		The democratic election of the popular Aristide was frustrated by overthrow and then after his restoration, the limitation of only serving out the remaining two years of his first term.
		Although the DR nominally has four-year presidential and parliamentary terms, by splitting the elections for the two, the country appears to reside in a continuous state of electioneering.
		In presidential systems where a president can select his cabinet from non-elected members, he is free to select military leaders to important departments (as is regularly done in the DR and used to be the case in Haiti).

		But the elections in Donetsk truly shocked me. Not because there were some sophisticated fraudulent schemes employed, but quite to the contrary, because of how brazenly the law was skirted and how openly the falsifications were done.
		Given my personal observations, I claim that there is a basis to conclude that a deliberate falsification of the presidential elections results was committed by the members of the territorial electoral commission and the local voting stations in the electoral constituency No. 48.
		Since annulment of the previous election is probably the most he can get from the Supreme Court hearing Monday (as I noted earlier), Yushchenko's asked Yanukovych to give him that outcome before the hearing.

	CONGRESSIONAL ACTION SEEN AS DOUBTFUL ON DOMINICAN REPUBLIC FTA IN 2004 - Printer Friendly
		Negotiators from the U.S. and the Dominican Republic are aiming to complete a free-trade agreement by the end of this week that would ultimately be packaged with an agreement the U.S. has already concluded with five Central American countries (CAFTA).
		If negotiations between the U.S. and the Dominican Republic conclude on March 13 and the Administration notifies its intent to sign the deal and dock it into the existing CAFTA on March 19, the earliest the agreement could be signed would be in mid-June, he said.
		Vargo did concede that negotiations to dock the Dominican Republic into CAFTA are "highly unusual" as there is no "functioning agreement" to dock the Dominican Republic into at the moment.

		To leave the confines of the U.S. and be able to look back on our presidential election from the vantage point of a foreign country is to be suddenly jolted into another political dimension.
		During the first presidential debate, I was in Berlin with a group of Arab businessmen from the Gulf States, Saudi Arabia, Palestine and Lebanon.
		I was all the more interested to watch their reaction to the presidential debate, because many of them had been quite ardent supporters of the Bush family and, in most cases, appreciative of the way that the first President Bush conducted the 1991 Gulf War.
