Most people I seem to meet in France or in other countries were saddened, or even appalled at the direction the US were taking. Under the spell of right wing zealots, fueled by know-nothing religious wingnuts, and blindly followed by an obedient commercial press, the US were led down the primrose path .
I told everybody about the US ironclad Constitution, regularly held elections, and democratic system. I predicted that Democracy would win, the warmongers would be thrown out and put on the dock. So far so good. It looks as checks and balances won out. Even my State of Virginia elected Jim Webb, after defeating George Allen.
The new democratic Congress will first have to get us out of Iraq, and then rebuild the reputation squandered by the neocons.
