You gotta stamp out militant jihadists before they bring a dirty nuke into SF or NY, or London, or India.
These are not good people.
But I think if Obama does it, it will be cleaner and more targeted, like Clinton in Kosovo.

its historic and im glad he won, but it will be near impossible to live up to liberal expectations. when the labour party won after 16 years of reactionism in our country nothing changed either. they worked hand in hand with the reactionist parties and went even further... i think this is likely to happen in america too. maybe im a bit too pessimistic because i voted to make a change and my party let the people who voted them down big time. well at least i dont expect obama to invade furthermore of the middle-east. although that would have been problematic
for mccain aswell i guess.

this danger is more likely to banish if the us would keep out of the middle-east and admit they made a huge mistake.
you cannot bring other countries to peace by killing its population and a clean war is an illusion.

with regards to Iraq, or any general occupation I completely agree with your sentiment.
with regards to afghanistan- targeted strikes on taliban outposts backed by hard intel, well that IS a different kind of operation. It's only because Bush fucked this country up so badly that we look at it as the same sort of deal.

there's no doubt our military has been grossly misused and mistreated- my point is just I really don't think Obama is going to roll that way.

President Hussein, I salute you!
This is pretty good, although I see it more as a reflexive sideways move towards empty platitudes over empty threats than a true revolutionary invigoration of people's basic premises, but still a darn good example of history's tendency to even out in the long run. I hope this will cast out the dark hexes of narrow-minded Bible Thumpers and other serpentine cock suckers and move us out of the Politics of Fear into the Light of Tomorrow, the Change to Come, the Change of T*O*D*A*Y

It is unlikely to end, but I wish it would. Ending it wouldn't benefit me in the least, but it sure would help this country out with it's crime and all the money that could be saved from keeping less in prisons and "fighting" the war.
And also, just like the War on Terror....how can you fight either with unsecured borders?
As for the Middle East, I'm a firm believer that the sooner we are out of there the better. Problems are escalating in Syria and Pakistan and the last thing we need to be doing is *influencing* these Arab nations who are already not very fond of us.

i'm not in the mood to read the pessimistic posts
i want to believe it's not a simple president that have been chosen
he represents more that a politician, he represent millions of people around the world and he knows it, i can saw it in his tired eyes last night
it's just a little revenge, in the cultural sense, for those who knew in their life what is like being a minority.

fun was had at the pub, more packed than i have ever seen it (more so than st paddy's day, and this is a proper irish pub). tons of cheering, a yell for our friend cobra actually made the bar erupt in cheers, thinking it was for obama.
but i am utterly shocked at california. did we really BAN gay marriage? The state with fucking san francisco banned gay marriage? this is just retarded, i can't believe it passed. fuck you so cal orange county religious right assholes.

seriously tho, excellent news. i don't care if he sells out a little bit or doesn't live up to the hype, he's a smart guy. and as for change? well, we didn't need all that neocon shit in the first place! so change is about right.
feel kinda jealous of my little bro tho, he doesn't give a rat's ass either way, hitler could be president and it would just be a distraction from playing his wii and eating pop tarts, i'd love to be in my own little world like that: "shit is booooring!"

yep. prop 8 on the california ballot. and it fucking passed 52% to 48%.
honestly, i do think a lot of it had to do with the fact that a people had a hard time conceiving of voting for something by voting no. hell, it took me far too long to explain it to my mom and she's an intelligent person.
let's hope that the final count changes (unlikely) or they just completely missed the castro or something.

It seems silly that a state constitution should be amended because effectively half the people want it that way. It will be contested in court though and there are still civil unions.
Also, I imagine there will now be a push to make civil unions benefits more equitable with marriage benefits making the amendment more about semantics than anything meaningful. 10 years from now people will look back at this amendment and realize how ignorant and ridiculous it is and probably un-amend it or whatever.
