personally i am glad bush got re-elected.
kerry's domestic policy seemed to shift depending which group he was speaking to from day to day, and his foreign policy was down right scary to me.
all the attacks that were negatively launched in teh campaign about who did what adn didnt' vote for what became pointless to me when i realized that the ecoonomy is in teh same place it was 4 years ago. not bad considering where it was 9-11-01 i woudl say. anyone else remeber the day that thousands died and literally billions of dollars were lost all over this country?
bush didn't waiver adn didn't freak out. he stood ground for teh country adn started an immediate attack on any domestic financial sources for terror and followed it up with the military movements.
i am not foolish enough to believe that we will be able to bring a perfect democracy to an area of teh world that has not managed to keep a ruler for more than 5years on average, but i do believe that we wuold be much worse off had we not gone on the offensive in the situation. it is a little difficult for them to attack us when we are busy wrecking their ****.
the fact that many nations around the world hate americans is more of a social discussion than a political one, so i am gonna leave that alone for now.
that being said, i do not think that winning an election is enough to make you the person of the year. there are people from all over teh world who have made great strides in teh last year researching disease, fighting poverty and hunger, and helping to bring peace. it would be nice to see some of those peopel brought into the spotlight and recognized with such awards instead of someone who is on the news every night anyway.
later
