OT: Election 2004

[dogscoff]

There were terrorist training camps in Iraq

IIRC these were in the Kurdish- controlled part of Iraq...

I think it is safe to say that the Iraq situation could be debated until the end of time. However what is done is done. Time to move forward and think about the future.

This war has both hurt and helped both canadates and I think it will be a minor point in the up coming election.

The big issues are going to be over the economy, and jobs not Iraq so much as in the past.

I personally have become disillusioned with the world recently. I used to think it was good versus evil. But lately I come to realise its realy everyone for themselves. We have countries going to war because of information which afterwards turn out to be false, or at least so far. We have the survivors of the holocaust , or Shoah, or endlosung, saying "never again" to their murder and persecution and crushing all opposition or assasinating enemy leaders. I'm not against this stuff, we need to stop those who threaten our dominant culture or the rights of the Jewish people to their homeland. It does show that things aren't black and white though. I just think its loyalty to your culture and the strongest will be the victor.

I became disillusion when I started reading philosophy back in 2000. It was then that I discovered that nothing matters for in a 100 years non of us, or what we have done, will matter. This is simply the way thing work and have always worked.

Our voices will fade into the dim recesses of history and only the actions of those we elect will be remembered.

So we must insure that those we elect to lead us lead us well.

I like GW and would like to see him re-elected, however I am upset over some of the choices he has made and lack of involvment in important issues like Enron, and the energy crisis scams. Telling us that Manufacturing jobs were on the rise when in fact it was BURGER FLIPPER jobs that was on the rise was to say the least insulting.

But given the choice between Kerry or Bush, I would have to go with Bush. Kerry is just not the right man for the job at this point in the game.

I think this is a good place to end this thread.

That's the difference between the way the world works and the way it should work.
