It's amazing how silly and out of touch with reality the US and international left is.
Go to the Internet and check out some of the stories and cartoons all over the world.
It's the usual "everybody hates Bush" menu.
However, the menu today includes a reluctant addendum. It is in very small print. It tells you that Obama won't change much of anything.
The dream is over, as John Lennon once said about the break up of The Beatles.
In this case, the "dream is over" because "hope and change" won't be much different than Bush!
US foreign policy won't change, specially now that the Dems will be responsible for defending the homeland.
It's amazing how different the world looks when you are accountable for defending the country.
We have not been attacked since 9-11.
Let's hope that Obama and the Dems can keep the streak going.
Back to the shoe.
Ralph Peters has this post about the shoe and Bush:
"ON Sunday, President Bush ducked two shoes hurled toward him in Baghdad. But he never ducked his responsibilities in Iraq.
A great deal of justified criticism can be leveled at the Bush administration, but to his great - and enduring - credit, our president didn't quit as mistakes made by his subordinates mounted and the prognosis in Iraq turned dire.
And the "shoe incident" shows how the results vindicated his stubbornness.
When an Arab heel aimed those shoes at our president, it showed the world the extent to which Bush loosened the laces of Middle Eastern tyranny.
If an Arab journalist had thrown his shoes at Saddam Hussein or one of his guests, the tosser would've been beaten, then tortured, then killed. Today's Iraqi government is considering whether the man should be charged under the state's democratically validated Constitution."
Life goes on. Iraq is better off today than it was 8 years ago. The Middle East is not blowing up despite all of that "wishful thinking" from the international media.
Yes, a few hundred people did the usual burning of US flags and "we hate Bush" marches.
In the end, they were not joined by most Iraqis. Why? Because most Iraqis are actually in a pretty good mood, specially now that their heads are not cut off when they disagree with Saddam.
Someone threw a shoe at Bush.
He missed!
Now, the international left will have to live with the reality that "hope and change" was just a lot of campaign talk. I guess that it won't be long before they start saying that Obama is a lot like Bush!
