First of all, deepest sympathies to all of you Americans (even those who voted for the incumbent president) on the re-election of Bush. It is a national catastrophe for you and a global catastrophe for the rest of us who watched helplessly as the wrong choices were made again.
I think your media is largely to blame for failing to ram home the basic truths about the USA's global impact - esp. with respect to the environment, social justice, international law and "world peace".
Four more years - yes that's probably enough to set off the definitive decline of the American Empire. You are now over extended, engaged or implicated in too many conflict zones to cope, especially with your record budget deficit.
All we can hope for now is that the descent will not be too rough!
Imagine getting worked up over the issues of gay marriage and abortion when conservative estimates of the Iraqi death toll due to the invasion put it at over the hundred thousand mark! So the message is - meddle in people's private lives and choices at home and literally to hell with the rest of the world! It is indeed a very sad day.
