Welcher. Sore loser.

Pay up!!

As you wish (Princess Bride reference)!

Hey, if its going to make you feel better, okay, you were right. The American candidate won the election, just like we both said he would. You were 100 percent right that he would win. Major kudos for going out on that limb and making that call. I'm not sure who else said it, but damn if you both weren't on the ball in calling that.

I'm still waiting for you to explain the 180 in political ideology of the average Afghanistanian. Imagine every Republican in America voting for the Democrats overnight. Unlikely? Maybe if the candidates that were able to run were John Kerry vs Michael Moore vs Charles Manson vs Fidel Castro? Would that have an effect on democracy and be considered election fixing? No, probably not. That would be a fair and honest election.

Since the fall of communism? Good lord, since the fall of communism we've had only three presidents, two of them too busy with Iraq to worry about anywhere else and one who took a very stand-offish and peaceful approach to foreign matters. What the hell were you expecting?

So, in other words, I'm right and you're wrong yet again. I'm having a good day today!!.

In a post-communist, post proxy world now more than a decade long, you are now admitting that America's record is NOT one of vote rigging as you had claimed several times in this thread.

I guess you didn't count the fixing of the 2000 US Election nor the 2004 Afghanistan election?

I guess you never considered that with two Iraq wars that the Americans effectively were electing the government running the country. Also you're forgetting the invasion of Panama and removal of Noreiga, the invasions of Greneda and Haiti. You also seem to lend a blind eye to what has been considered election tampering in Venezuela to defeat anti-Bush critic Hugo Chavez. There has been plenty of work by the Americans that has affected the political climate and seen governments friendly to their goals and cooperative to their whims. But of course to someone who keeps their head buried in the sands of American propaganda you would consider this as being... Inconceivable! (Princess Bride reference)

Too bad, all of these events had ramifications to the politics of the nations in question, even if those of us in Canada were not aware of the changes that took place.

Your intellect is truly dizzying (Princess Bride reference).

And yours is just dizzy. The line is, "Truly, you have a dizzying intellect." (the correct Princess Bride reference)

Have a good evening Cow. Tomorrow is another day.
