@Monkey:
What specifically are you referring to? Afghanistan?
Afghanistan is a wholly different scenario then Iraq.
I'm referring to the general "Simmer down, Middle east. Sit! Beg!"
@Monkey:
He's going to win easily, it's already shaping up to be a 1996/2004 style election. With many people hating the incumbent, but the opposition fields nothing but truly shitty candidates and the people who like the incumbent are motivated purely by partisan anger of keeping out the other guy.
The Republicans have nobody at all. The best guy they have is a Mormon who made healthcare reforms in Massachusetts that Obama took notes from for his national scale.
If you know anything about Republicans those are things to hate.
Fuckin' Trump is one of the highest polling with Repubs right now. They're hopeless.
Oh crap o_o. From what i've been hearing from .. basically every american I know, the fawning-over-Obama's-blackness stage is well over and everyone is ready to let him go. If it's him vs. Trump tho…. lesser of two evils I guess.
I feel for you guys. Hang in there.
@Monkey:
Do you not get the whole democracy thing?
The morons who made the Bush Doctrine left the White House three years ago, it doesn't mean they stopped existing on the spot.
Sigh If only they did, if only they did.
You guys should move to Canada. Everything's expensive but things here are less effed up :) even if we still have a french dude trying to make his province into another country.
@Monkey:
I'll take it.
I can fold it into a jumping frog and mail it to you. Somehow that feels like a better use of a paper worth less than five dollars.
