It remains to be seen how people will react to a Preval victory, or if there 
will be such a clear victory.  This election was loaded with problems and 
provides "justification" for anyone who is discontented to continue with their 
opposition.  In the event of a Preval victory, will those who were opposed to 
Aristide merely transfer their anger to Preval?  Can the anti-Aristide 
opposition be lumped together so casually?  How much violence will there 
continue to be.  From my reading of the way that Haiti has digressed in the 
last two years, I doubt that the violence will subside, for it is a symptomatic 
of a near complete breakdown of government.  The tragic lesson that I have 
learned from all of this is that with the latest coup, the dissatisfied can 
easily resort to extra-legal means to solve their political problems.
