Good news we won the election
Bad news we won the election......

How bad will Kerry get skewered when he does the things necessary to dig out of the hole bush put us in.

1. Who says he will?

I don't know if Kerry is going to continue the disasterous foreign policy we have had for the last 100 years or more. I certainly doubt it.

2. I disagree
Sane people in the US, and all over the world, are holding their breath, anticipating this election, and praying for a Kerry victory.

My prediction: the world is going to be so ecstatic that the militant, arrogant Chimperial Highness is gone, and to have a sane man in the US Presidency with which to deal. They are going to leap on board to do everything they can to assist him.

As a result, Kerry is going to have early, and outstanding, victories. I believe he will turn things around in short order, because the world is desperate for peace and stability, and fears greatly the Middle Eastern regional war, and possibly a world war, if Bush is elected.

Things will go very well. Everyone is going to feel it.

However, the Bushista flying monkeys will complain that in spite of all the progress, that life under Kerry stinks. They will say that everything he does is wrong -- even as life improves around all of us.

Kerry is going to be facing a lot of tough challenges, but he is going to have the world working with him in solving them, and that is a good thing.

No one wants the state of affairs as they exist today -- people want peace. And there is no hope of peace, in the foreseeable future, under a second Bush tyranny. Instead, continual war will dominate our national life.

The beginning of the end of this turmoil will be the election of John Kerry to the Presidency of the US in 2004.

3. Bold predictions
Bush will hand over power on June 30th but keep our troops there for the sake of stability.

So, Kerry inherits a f*cked up situation in Iraq where even after the hand over all the Iraqi people hate the current government and the US.

He will try to get international forces from NATO and UN involved.

If they do, then this will legitimize his strategy and help his re-election plans.

In any case, he pressures whatever interim authority there is left after the shooting in Iraq to hold a quick bullshit election. At the same time he will get something just about anything built really quick.

That way he can say the Iraqis have their own government and we did what we could to rebuild the infrastructure (see the bridge we built for example). Then we will pull out as the Repukes call him a coward for cutting and running and the Dems counter that after the Iraqis rule themselves we should stop being occupiers.

Then we will get the hell out of dodge.

4. A Kerry Victory will be bigger than New Year 2000.
Across the globe people will be dancing in the streets.

It will hit * with the force of 1000 protest rallies and seal his legacy as the worst U.S. president of all time.
