Why on earth are you likening the idea that the elected person should be the best person for the
job (not a point-making exercise on a socio-political level) to going into Iraq? EVERYONE could
see that was fucked.
 
It *won't* be a new dawn & people will be VERY disappointed in Obama if he gets in & just happens
to be like the rest of 'em (politicians), which of course, he will be.
 
So YAY! Let's vote for the black dude to make a point! YAY!!! It'll make us feel warm inside... for
a while... all it's going to prove is that skin colour means fuck all, to those that care to listen...

Really? Isn't that essentially what we're doing in Iraq? Babysitting? 
And I hate to break this to you, but pre-emptive wars/occupations are NOT in the public's best interest!
 
k.w.
