Major problems remain in ensuring credible elections. If they're not resolved, the next government's legitimacy will be in question.
It's not impossible to hold free and fair elections, but it's going to be very dicey.
We've reached a point where the balance now is tilting toward holding the elections. There's less likely to be violence in Haiti's future if they hold elections than if they don't.
Elections are clearly not the whole solution. But you can't get a legitimate government that can begin to deal with Haiti's problems and build something out of this failed state without them.
