Let’s all congratulate the US for electing a new President who is only 50% white unlike previous presidents who have all been over 90% white. All through the US the Democrats have been congratulating themselves on the change that will come about now that they have elected a lawyer to high office.
We can all admit now that a purple fairy could have won the election against GI Joe and Caribou Barbie provided they had a policy or two. The entire republican campaign seems to have been bourne out of the following principals:
- Obama sounds a lot like Osama
- Barrack rhymes with Iraq (if you are fuckwit american)
- Barrack Obama is kinda the same colour as quite a few muslims
- Sarah Palin was nearly chosen as Miss Alaska
- McCain spent some time being held by the Viet Cong so his country owes him 8 years of living in a nice house with guards and his own big ass plane
Now that the elections are over we can all admit that change is not really all that likely, the US will still go out into the world and bully whomever it can in order to further their own goals. The US will still send troops abroad to rape and pillage in the name of liberty and will still claim the war on terror is more than just an excuse to remove the freedoms that other nations’ citizens have to be above the shallow materialistic corruptions of the United States. I doubt that electing a half white man to the White House will make the US suddenly take an intererst in the reasons why most of the world hates the US. I doubt a dose of humility will be packed inside Obama’s travelling case and I doubt that the meddling with foreign nations will cease and the US will begin to recognise the soverignty of all states outside their own borders.
If the US wants to change then it must respect that treaties are a binding two way thing which must be recognised at all times rather than when the US will gain from it. They must realise that pillaging the oil reserves of smaller nations or invading countries like Iraq is no different from Iraq invading and annexing Kuwait for the same goals. For the US to really change they need to stop their support of the occupation of Palestine and start understanding the reasons why muslim fundamentalists are angry at the imperialistic empire which has been responsible for many of the ills of the world today.
