the outcome of the election

[ManaCraft]

I sincerely hope Bush will do what his advertisements claim he will: Make the world a more peaceful place.

One can only hope. However, with the republican party winning not only the presidency but also the house and the senate, the stage is now perfectly set for Bush to press on with his conservative agenda. It will be interesting to see to how great an extent the Bush administration will cooperate with the political opposition. If anything it's going to be Bush's desire to make a place for himself in history (now that he can no longer get re-elected) that will inspire him to reach out to others, even on the international level, which is what he will need to do to fulfill his promise of peace.

I too, like many other Europeans, would have chosen Kerry if given the chance. It seems that many Bush supporters (at least in my country, where there aren't too many of them btw) made their decision based on the war in Iraq or the war on terrorism in general, whereas Kerry supporters weigh a whole variety of issues (including terrorism, but also health care, the economy, etc).
