A Bright Future for Haiti or More of the Same?

This week after a disputed election that resembled Florida in 2000, Haiti elected a new President. I'm sure you're all aware of the revolution in Haiti that I believe took place two years ago now, which ousted President Aristide. The new President is Rene Preval, an agronomist and former President. But there were some concerns about foul play at the ballot box and only after intense negotiations with international groups was a deal reached on who would become President. While Preval is popular among the lower classes, the election dispute and the fact that he is a former President returning to power (just like Aristide before he was ousted) hints that perhaps this may not signal change for Haiti. I found out about the election from the NY Times online, and you can find out about it here.
