I've been a moaning asshole about the US leadership for almost four years and, on reflection, this was rational and proven to be absolutely right. The irony is, it is not because of politics.
Yes... it is a dissappointment the US electorate gave Bush another four years. There is also very little doubt, that 50% of the US people are gluttons for punishment and will be the laughing stock of the world for this.
On the flip side of the coin, I know three young men in the US who are heading into a war.
They have been told they are defending their country.
From whom?
I can't help think it is totally immoral to permit 18 and 19 year old kids to be placed in a firing line for the errors of judgement of "big boys" who never had the guts when it was their time to serve.
No sane person wishes ill or harm to any US people, (much as tho some are taught this is the case), - but there is going to be a world which despise some for their stupidity.
Who knows that will happen in four years - but best wishes for the future - even to those who voted for Bush, - and let's hope sanity prevails.
