Sad.
I only hope this election result won't have serious repercussions for the rest of the world... with any luck, Bush will re-discover the meaning of "international co-operation" rather than going off on any more slap-dash plans and bringing about the next big genocidal war. Here's hoping, but I won't be too surprised if things end up that way.

It's especially sad, considering that President Bush had very little public support before the campaigning began. The dazzling media whitewash was enough to re-write people's thoughts and opinions... pity, really.

I wonder, though... just how 'clean' was this election? The US is one of the first to lash out against electoral corruption elsewhere, but we know that Bush is dishonest and untrustworthy. If he'll send his own people to die just to support his lies, then rigging an election to secure his grip on power wouldn't be that much of a bigger step.
I'm not levelling any accusations here; I'd prefer that the result be a just and genuine one, whichever way it goes. Just saying I wouldn't be surprised, that's all.
