I don't think Hamid Karzai would have survived to see the elections, if he was not protected by American troops and bodyguards! This fact alone does not reflect well for a Democratic Afghanistan. The elections and a free Afghanistan is only for the Republican voters of the US! In Iraq, over 1100 American troops have died and over 100,00 Iraqis, since it was 'liberated'! No WMDs were found and the sole purpose of the war, was to get rid of those! Then the focus shifted to getting rid of a tyrant, then to introduction of 'democracy'! How can one call it democracy, when the US, with a so called ragtag 'alliance' of the UK and some poor East Europian countries, impose its people and constitution on the hapless Iraqis? I think that the Bush Administration policies have made the world more unsafe a place. Nagesh

The above phrase is overused in modern political discourse. Sometimes (not always) one votes choosing between two poor or bad choices, but not evil. Fortunately, in tomorrow's USA election, John Kerry, an outstanding candidate is on the ballot. I see the predicament with Bush, he is the flip flopper-in-chief and one cannot tell where he stands as the political winds shift. He was against the 9-11 commission, then for it. Opposed the Homeland Security department, then was for it. Against nation-building, then for it. For small government but presided over the largest expansion of government and spending since Lyndon Johnson, etc. etc. Kerry was consistent and strong in all three debates, yet three different Bush's showed up in the debates. I am not sure which George Bush his supporters are rooting for. Regards, George
