Tuesday, February 19, 2008I would still like Huckabee to just go away (although keeping the Republicans in the news while at the same time not actually causing real controversy could be valuable in the general election, I'm not sure Huckabee will turn around and support McCain come convention time), that's not why I'm writing today.I'm writing today because Pakistan held elections and the dominant party lost. Be some people's definition (see the book "Democracy and Development") that is all that is needed to establish a country as a democracy. We'll see if the election results hold, but I kind of think they will. This news made me happy, as it gives more evidence to my senior thesis- President Bush, despite all his other flaws, is and has been serious about supporting the emergence of democracy, even when it has meant damaging "our" guy. So kudos to Pakistanis for their election, kudos to PPP for winning, and kudos to Musharraf for allowing it to happen (mostly), and kudos to Bush for not getting in the way. Now just leave, please. I'm tired of hearing the democrats complain and not have (m)any comebacks. .: posted by Topper 9:50 AMTuesday, February 12, 2008Go away huckabee..: posted by Topper 12:04 PM |
