Noah speaks with NPR's David Welna in Port au Prince about the peaceful transfer of power today in Haiti as President Jean Bertrand Aristide steps down and Rene Preval (ren-NAY PRAY-VAL) takes office. Preval will have to deal with Haiti's economic woes, as well as a potentially unstable security situation when U.N. peacekeeping forces leave the island, possibly as early as the end of this month. Welna says Preval also will have to contend with Aristide, whom many Haitians regard as the once and future president.
