So far it looks like we're in for another 4 years of unjust wars, brutality and corporate legislation, and you americans can look forward to four more years of your civil rights being stripped away. I guess there's still time for a turnaround but I'm not optimistic.

I don't know if Kerry would have been any better, but he couldn't have been worse.

Oh, and has anyoine else noticed that US political analysts on TV always have stupid hair and nasty shirts?

Just my humble Opinion

I was personally hoping for a Kerry win, looking at the figures now it doesn't look possible. Also I was Hoping for Kerry just so we in the UK wouldn't get dragged into stupid and unecerssary wars, some reports i've found on the actual death count in Iraq are shocking . Blair was smart in a right, ally with the unstable superpower and you're free from harm, at least from them!. Kerry just seemed to appeal more to me, he acted like a president and his foreign policies sounded better.

The again what really got me was the "constant" way analysts kept saying America saw Bush as a "War President". Over in Europe we call that War Mongering. But in the end it's their country, let's hope the voters made the right choice. Still, for those Anti-Bush guys here you go: Them's Fighting Words

I also dislike the idea of having the worlds most powerful country led by a man with a more suited physical appearance to star in PG Tips adverts than President of the United States. (For those unaware of this great british tradition: PG Tips Chimps)

it did continue along with my theory that the North East of USA should one day attempt to leave and join Canada. the West coast should form their own country. And the rest... Well they can carry on with the republic

I'm so disapointed to see that fear prevailed.

You guy's don't have to worry about the republic continuing. You voted yourself out of a democracy and into a monarchy over fear of what lies in our closets. I do hope that in my life we can someday return to the republic that our progressive, liberal founding fathers gave birth to.

If you ask me, this election proves the terrorist won. they were out to change our way of life, to scare us into changing. And look what happened. Proud America! not any more.

People say no nation or few nations could stand against America. Perhaps not a few, but many can - and with bush, I fear they will at the american's people expense
