US Elections

I know that the Presidential elections in the US are important and interesting to my American friends and relations, but I think their importance to the rest of us is being overstated. It won’t make much difference to American foreign policy if Bush goes. What will happen is that the pressure driving the current questions being asked about the war in Iraq will be relieved by his departure. In some ways I’d rather Bush stayed and the pressure grew. I love the way that liberals in the US feel driven towards radicalism by their terrible government.
