Jesus Cow, it all depends on how the elections go. From what has been reported you have people registering to vote multiple times in Afghanistan. Is that the democratic way? Come on. We won't know if democracy is working for another 40 years. And of course the first government is going to be a puppet government. How can it be otherwise? You think that the people have had a chance to make their own nominations? You think there is equal representation? None of these foundations of democracy have been allowed to develop because there is still so much chaos in the region. The US will roll out the candidates they want and get them elected. Those "elected" officials wil then appoint who the US wants so there is a "friendly" government in place. They have done this in the past and will likely do it again. Of course we know the results of these "democracies" as well, but that is another story. If the results of the election prove to be honest and on the up and up I will be extremely happy. Unfortunately history has shown that this is very unlikely and this administration has shown a massive penchant for lying to attain their goals. Put those two together and I just don't see how this election witll be straight.
You know, for a guy that is so "down on Bush" you have a very funny way of showing it. I have not met a single person who is down on Bush and promotes the stuff you do as being good policy. How can you honestly say you are not a Bush supporter yet defend everything the administration does? My opposite here at work is a massive Bush supporter and he laughs at the stuff you post. You say that Bush is bad and that Iraq should not have been invaded, but you support the results of these actions. It doesn't make sense. How can you say one thing and then the other?
