Chaos in Haiti

The majority of the Haitian community in South Florida admires the position
taken by the Editorial Board on Haiti (Crisis in Haiti boils on U.S.
doorstep, Nov. 5 editorial). On that same day, the U.S. ambassador in Haiti
and the independent United Nations expert on human rights explicitly
recognized that ''Security has much deteriorated in recent weeks'' in Haiti
and that ``It's hard to advocate an electoral solution when people can't
demonstrate peacefully.''

The time has come for the White House to get involved directly in the search
for a viable and sustainable solution to the crisis.
