I just want to point out

that nearly half of the country voted against Bush.
Trust me, many Americans do not buy into everything this administration is selling.

That is all.

I know, and that gives me some hope.

Unfortunately that half wasn't enough, and now they don't get a say in policies for the next four years. Bush doesn't exactly have a great record of listening to his people so far, so I can't imagine he's about to start doing so now... Not that the UK government is much better, but that's just because Blair seems absolutely blind to the chance that things presented to him by Bush might not be real.

can't argue with that.

So let's look at the bright side...term limits!
Four more years and OUT THE DOOR!

Someone on my forum made the point

that technically he wasn't voted in the first time around, so maybe he'll run again next time!

But yes, thank goodness for that aspect of your political structure. If Bush can get back in then that means that there's a chance that Blair might get back in again too, and we have no limits on re-election.

Hilary Clinton for 2008!

I absolutely recognise that

which is why I'm not yank-bashing. just cunt-bashing, because we're in a situation where the rest of the world has to deal in very real terms with the actions of that unbelievable administration. Since unfortunately most people are reactionary rather than measured and objective, it's important to go the extra mile and be informed - and therefore able to make pragmatic decisions in amongst the heady emotions of the current geopolitical climate.
