Thread Name: BS: Who would Usama vote for?
Subject: RE: BS: Who would Usama vote for?
I don't think there's much doubt that Osama would have wanted Bush to win the last election - and he'd have been quite right, from his point of view. I'm sure today he'd want things to carry on the way they have been. The worse things get in Iraq, the better it must suit his agenda.
What has happened in Iraq has also obviously very much benefited the Iranian government. But I suspect they'd be likely to feel that enough was enough. Iraq is no longer any kind of threat, and continued devastation of the country doesn't help Iran any.
Kim Il Sung would presumably want to see the USA as tied up in Iraq and elsewhere as possible, to minimise any threat in Korea, so Bush would be his man.
Castro and Chavez? Well, I'd assume they'd probabaly hope to see Bush humiliated. Like a lot of people round the world.
