This article in The Star struck me as creepy:

Though international officials refrain from pointing fingers directly, doubts about Préval's leadership have deepened, and some look anxiously at Haiti's two-century history of instability in fear of sliding back to the future.

I've grown increasingly disillusioned with the Préval presidency -- it appears to me that he's completely capitulated to the neo-liberal agenda. I wouldn't want his job mind you; what do you do when you know that the last guy who had your job was sent into exile twice and almost assassinated a whole bunch of times?

Nonetheless, I can't say I feel good about the number of articles that seem to be supporting the idea that the running of Haiti needs to be taken out of the hands of the Haitians.
