So, John Kerry won the Iowa caucuses. The media had said earlier that it would be a close one and much earlier, Dean was dominating. Therefore, it is only surprising to hear that Howard Dean received merely half of what Kerry or Edwards got. Meanwhile, Gephardt dropped out. (Damn, he is a Michigan graduate.)
Nevertheless, the next thing to look out for is the State of the Union, of which will happen as soon as this evening. To be frank, I expect more lies to be presented to the floor and to be more frank, I believe a lot of blind folks are going to believe whatever Dumbya will be saying. Sometimes, I wonder why people believe in a thing despite overwhelming evidence proving the reverse is true.
And today, US military rejected a report by a provincial head concerning the latest operation (reads more like oppression) in Afghanistan. The Afghan official reports 11 civilians were killed while the military asserts that instead of 11 innocent Afghans, 5 Taliban militants were eliminated. Immediately in a message board, a stubborn American nationalist confidently argued nobody would believe the Afghan. Judging by the US diplomatic fiasco at the United Nations, I'd rather believe the Afghan official to Bush's puppets.
In any case, I think it is agreeable that the invasion (or liberation for the neo-cons) does bring in some good.
One focal point of the benefit the invasion brings is the introduction of democracy into the region. It is encouraging to see the idea of freedom to be spread out even into the most unthinkable places.
Unfortunately, it seems democracy is turning Iraq into another Iran, of which I see as something as bad as seeing Saddam still reigning supreme as the President of Iraq. Democracy has always been about adhering to the will of the people and right now, the will of the people is the will of the Shiite.
Therefore, I dare bet democracy will turn Iraq into another Islamic Republic led by an Ayatollah.
Great. Just great.
Now we have the Islamic Republic of Iran and the soon-to-be Islamic Republic of Iraq side by side, literally. Bush, you are going to turn former enemies into being, really, the best buddies in the world!
Thanks Bush for your contribution to the world!
I really appreciate it, not.
