Let's hope TD's right. As many of the recent posts here illustrate, the USA has the best propaganda system in the world, bar none. It's shocking and depressing to hear the reasons that prospective voters give for supporting the incumbent. I've yet to hear a single reason that isn't (at least one of) selfish, callous, or completely divorced from reality. Anyone who can offer me a ray of hope by providing just one counter-example wins an SUV, a gun, and a full-term foetus. Ho ho. To the vast majority of us outside the USA, it's crystal clear that the Bush regime is catastrophic for Americans and non-Americans alike. Please fire this man. Some people think non-Americans should express no opinion on American politics (mostly the same people who think it's okay for non-Iraqis to determine Iraqi politics), but others (like me) think people should have a say in decisions in proportion as they're affected by them. And sadly, we'll all be affected by this one. Here's to the great Americans who will not be selfish, callous, or ignorant tomorrow.
