Subject: RE: BS: Both candidates are assholes
If Bush wins, I will not waste any time being miserable. I will regret that so many Americans turned out to be so ragingly misguided and dense

I like that one - it pretty much summarises many of my views from a uk perspective.

I believe the single most important thing for the us is to restore its international reputation and having people liking America (and no that does not mean being wishy washy or not facing up to harsh realities, but to show an interest in justice rather than in bullying). GWB is one of the last people on earth I would trust towards achieving that sort of aim - I don't think he can even see that America having friends in the world who would support and co-operate is infinately preferable to dictating and expecting the world to bow down and follow through fear.
