***to me, the way Aristide and Lavalas "handles" this outbreak is
instructive as to where, in reality, Haiti actually stands in ferms of
popular government, civil society, etc........it is instructive, i think, to
watch it, and see its final outcome, since it is the first major challenge
that has occured to the elected government when the Army was not available
to play a role.......I dont count the installation of Preval, given the
presence of UN troops at that time....
