Well pretty soon now, the US will be saying their fond farewells to George W, and along with him, hopefully will go a regime that has by it's foreign policy made the USA a pariah to much of the world. America is now not just hated by Canadians, and it is a great pity that such a wonderful country should be judged on the activities of the rich and powerful Republicans that have always pulled the strings.
I know very few American people, but those I have met or had any contact with are warm, generous and lovely people and are probably more representative of the real America than those who make the policies.
Barak Obama is a highly educated and very smart young man. He seems to be a breath of fresh air and I hope that his vision will not be blurred by the weight of the money that drives American History. I am sure that I am not alone in having a fear that he may not just be the first black President, but that he may also be the first Black president to be assassinated. To oppose the money machine in the US takes a great deal of courage as well as a very tight security service.
Perhaps, just perhaps, this term of office may turn things around and bring the western world back on a road towards sanity.
