Sri Lankan U.N. soldiers load electoral material in a truck to be distributed in the town of Leogane. Sunday's presidential and legislative elections are going ahead despite the huge challenges of holding a nationwide poll in the Western Hemisphere's poorest state. Haiti, its infrastructure already weak, is recovering from a devastating earthquake in January and battling a worsening cholera epidemic that has already killed 2,000 people. Reuters

Soldiers, at least please help that country to hold fair elections, if you can not do the same in your country!

Perumal, soldiers can only execute what the political leadership tells them. They have shown in the past that they can do exactly what they are told.
