And thank God for that.

Everyone knew that Preval was actually the winner, but they did everything they could to try and stop it.

I blogged on Haiti and the Haitian election yesterday in fact. What is really amazing is that the thugs who kicked out Aristide still, in 2006, think they can win an election by means of fraudulently counting the votes. It is nice to see that they failed.
