Word on the street is that the US is finally planning to pull out. So the Iraqis will have their chance to "do it" themselves.

I'm sure the sour grapes stories are being built as we speak.
It will be as easy to look good as it is for an outgoing party to blame all the remnant issues on the newly elected.

Cereal question scratch. Why not run for office ? I mean if you really want to at least attempt to make changes, why not be proactive ?

I have a pertinent quote, if anyone wants it...
Amos Kendall, speaking to the then-President, Andrew Jackson, dissuading him from backing the annexation of Texas:
The time will come when Mexico will be overrun by our Anglo-Saxon race, nor do I look upon it as a result to be at all deplored. I believe it would lead to the amelioration and improvement of Mexico herself; but as guardians of the peace and interests of the United States we are not permitted to go to war through philanthropy or a design to conquer other nations for their own good.

I would urge the board's American adults to get to their polling station today and support the Republican ticket. A hung US administration - in the sense of Congressional opposition to the White House - is the last thing the world needs at the moment.

You should stick with commenting on your own elections. You know nothing of America or Americans..

It makes sense for both sides for the same reason.Here's one BBC correspondent's take on yesterday's voting...The television advertisements I've been watching have almost all been negative. The overwhelming impression is that hundreds of criminals, rapscallions and ne'er do wells are currently on the loose on the streets of the United States all seeking election for the opposing political party. The Democratic campaign seems to boil down to one phrase: "We're not George Bush." And the Republican campaign is similarly taut: "We're not George Bush either."That's Gavin Esler on the BBC Reporters' Blog at
