While I voted for McCain, in the long American tradition I am proud we will have an orderly and civil transition to an Obama administration. No riots, no bloodshed, no coups, no exiles. Those outside of the US who so exult in Obama’s victory are quite naïve. Yet it’s represented as sophistication. I’d call it sophomoric.
In these times of world globalization, good and bad, Obama, a true America, and yet he is more the’international’ American, which is what this changing world is becoming and needs. Its time to leave behind the cowboys and war veterans, and move into the 21st Century. Good luck to him and his mountainous challenges.Wish Belgium could have someone as charismatic as him!
What about the bloodshed in Iraq, Don?
Uh, Jeff, I believe that Don was referring to election-related violence.
