the midterms and i...
somewhere between feeling sorry for oneself and intoxicating myself with plenty of paracetamol, the Democrats took the House of Representatives and apparently seized the Senate by the minutest of margins. in my drugged state, i might have inclined to believe that what had just happened was just a hallucination. only when i sobered up for the best part of today that i realised the magnitude of that event.
many of us might have rejoiced and do a jig over this event. but probably that has a little or more to do with the fact that the Democrats isnt Bush's party. and because of that there is a strong sense of hope that Bush will not be elected for a third term.
well that's what they said the last time round.
we should however ponder on whether lady justice has finally won? is there going to be more justice in the world? or a finally peaceful earth would reign?
American policies in relation to the rest of the world has been developed throughout the years by the various regimes and administration. it has been developed by the academia of its ruling and thinking elite. its beliefs and misbeliefs is deeply rooted and entrenched in the psyche of the american people. at the core of that belief is the belief that america is the centre of the earth. (the fact that i, a singaporean whose voice is a minority of a minority of a minority, am talking about this says it all)
however that is a topic for another day.
more urgently we should ask, will the democrats live up to its promise? or will they merely exact revenge on the republicans for treating them so unfairly and badly?
we shall see...
