Good News from US
Our American neighbours have finally come to their senses, and the results are mostly in for the mid-term elections.
I think the world can heave a sigh of relief now that George W. Bush and his henchmen have been soundly defeated in the Congress. It looks like the Senate may have a Democratic Party majority too. With a few cliff hangers yet to be decided, the verdict isn't in, but it appears that the good people of the USA have repudiated the Neo-Cons and their disastrous policies.
I am always puzzled by the state of politics in the USA. Whenever they elect someone like Reagan, or Bush (both father and son) the rest of the world shakes their collective heads and wonders why the citizenry of the USA could be so silly. At the same time, the citizens of the USA have an unseemly reverence for these characters. I suppose it's a good thing for Republicans that the Presidency of the USA is not a globally held election. Otherwise these men would never have been elected.
With this good news, now all we have to do is get rid of the Conservative Party of Canada next year, and things will take a turn for the better. Now we're a step behind the USA, and we need to catch up. Stephen Harper had better watch out, because he's next.

What really gives me hope is that Donald Rumsfeld was finally forced to resign. Yes I know, it's just a smoke screen and there is a puppet in his place. Nevertheless, it does give a sense that things can change. Rumsfeld has been the mastermind behind all the disastrous Middle Eastern affairs for decades now.
