thanks

I read a post from another blog today which read, in part, "So, Bush has won fairly, and Kerry bowed out gracefully, and we were saved the indignity of being labeled again as foolish." I couldn't resist answering.

If you really think you have been "saved the indignity of being labeled again as foolish", consider: your country knowingly re-elected one of the most dangerous political leaders in recent history. More than half of the U.S. population looked beyond his blatant lies, his catastrophic mistakes and his corrupt administration and saw instead a short, smirking gunslinger in a cowboy hat.

Foolish! My god! No, no-one thinks you are foolish now. The world is breathing a sigh of relief. The citizens of Iraq are settling down for a night's sleep, secure in the knowledge that the future holds at least four more years of safety. God himself is looking down on the U.S. and smiling.

Thank you America! Canada thanks you! The Earth thanks you!

Update:
At least twelve people have died in Iraq since Tuesday's election. Five of them were Iraqi civilians, including a woman and a child, three were UK soldiers, one was a translator, and three were Iraqi guards. (Link, link and link)

Update:
Read the Globe and Mail article, "World dismayed as voters give Bush 2nd term"

Update:
America has officially apologized.
