NYT headline of the day: U.S. and French Troops Arrive in Haiti to Restore Stability

Why is this funny? I have no idea. I haven't quite pinned it down yet. But it is. Very.

Because the U.S. and French are working together?

Because it suggests that either the U.S. or the French or both can restore stability?

Because the last time the French were in Haiti, they didn't do so good a job with the stability thing?

All right, my creativity is now exhausted.

I think it's just because Haiti is spelled funny.
