McCain or Obama ?




On the eve of the elections, I looked more attentively at interviews and statements made by people in the USA. From a lady who sends letters to the neighbours saying that if they vote Obama their hands will be full of the blood of abortions to the car dealer who makes the gift of a hand gun to whoever buys a new car and of a machine gun to SUV buyers. This same guy was stating that the Constitution talks about the right to hold guns and money, not about social security....And, if it were not tragic, I would laugh at the statements of all those people who are convinced that Obama is a socialist! Ignorance and stupid ideology dominating the republican voters.

I have seen how nasty the right can be when it loses power: in Italy, with a nasty opposition, in France with hysterical reactions when Mitterand took the Presidency, to Austria when it moved to a centre government.

And I can see how the right and the Christian coalition will react should Obama win. An instability outlook. And this in spite of the fact that Bush and his conservative allies have lead the country to an economic catastrophe, to endless wars it cannot win, to corruption at the highest level (the VP...) to wide spreading poverty.

So I wonder whether it would not be better for the world if, as an Al Qaida high level official stated, McCain wins. The decline of the USA will increase, finally the issue of the foreign debt will have to be resolved, Americans will consume what they have and not export their debt and the wars, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, will be lost once forever.

Should Obama win, there will be so much internal fighting by the extreme right that he will be paralysed.

Better to let America continue to sink even deeper so that in a four years there can be a meaningful democratic government than to risk with a paralysed Obama.

So, let McCain win.....
