Time to Vote!
Hi All,

I just sent the following post to alternet.org, in a discussion headed:

"A Wake-Up Call for President Bush
By John Brown, Tomdispatch.com. Posted April 25, 2006.
In this open letter, a former American diplomat asks, "Mr. President: have you ever woken in the middle of the night, realizing what you've done to Iraq?"

Please enjoy!

Leader of the "free" world?

You know - everytime an American president sneezes the entire world ducks.

This is not true for any other person on the planet - he rules us all to a certain extent.

Therefore, in light of the fact it apparently takes somewhere between 5 and 50 years for US citizens to work out if their president is a moron or not, I propose that the Entire World be allowed to take part in US presidential elections.

That way you get the benefit of our opinions (especially since many of you don't even bother to vote or get much of an education), you get to be aware of reality 5-50 years earlier than normal AND you'll get a president that is not only aware of the fact that the Rest Of the World exists but he'll have to be nice to us instead of shitting on us. (And then we might even feel like being nice to YOU)
