No matter what, either guys' soundbites aren't going to make a jot of difference. The juggernaut agenda of worldwide interference goes on .

Yeah if Romney wins it'll be great. Well great if you're into war on a huge scale. The bloke is a danger to us all.
And no offence anyone who doesn't understand why this is important to the rest of the world needs to educate themselves.
So although he's not done a lot in his first term and may do even less in his second I hope Obama wins, as a president who doesn't do a lot is a good one I reckon.

The Redskins have been a good indicator of political results in 17 out of the last 18 NFL matches on the eve of elections. When the Redskins have won, the incumbent has won. When they have lost the incumbent has lost.
Therefore, its going to be Romney, because the Redskins lost yesterday.

Who's to say Romney is into "war on a grand scale"...he'll do very little different if elected to what Obama does now who has followed his predecessor George Bush's foreign polices and in some cases exceeded them in terms of the war on terror. That somehow either Romney or Obama is going to radically change anything in foreign policy is to misunderstand American politics. Ultimately we have a choice as a country whether we lead or follow...Blair choose to follow regarding Iraq...we could have made a different choice....we didn't. |

The big multi million backing for either party comes with a price, go and fight more wars for your "friend" Israel or else.

You honestly saying a stance on us saying NO to Iraq would have made any difference?
The Yanks would have gone in anyway regardless and probably a lot more gun ho...if you are saying that Blair would have been a better PM if he hadn't gone in that is debatable.
Tony Blair sorted Ireland out that deserves great credit..he never gets it.
As far as i can make out the Iraqi nation is starting to thrive again surely but slowly.
Should imagine millions of people who live there dont live in the same fear as when Sadam was in charge.
Fact is it was an ugly war all wars are but history will probably show it was worth it in the end.
So yes Tony Blair would have won many friends if he took a stance against the US....but my feeling is that generations of Iraqi people especialy woman and children will thrive...that is what many of those brave service people who died would have wanted.
Not Andy Pandy people arguing the toss if it was the right/wrong thing to do.

I'm just assuming he'll approach his foreign policy as he's described in his campaign. And as the republican supporters would like him to. Primarily by 'making the world scared of America' that's what they want, and I for one agree with Obama's 'the 80's called they want their foreign policy back' analysis of Romney less than softly softly approach. Obama has delivered a much less aggressive approach, except the killing of Osama B-L. He's also gone on a middle east tour to try and pacify the region some what. |

Tony Blair. ambassador of peace for the Middle East, you couldn't make this shit up. Send him to the Hague for war crimes. Justice one day for this snake oil salesman. Scum.

I think it'll end up 269 Electoral College votes each.

I want Obama to win, mainly because he just looks and acts like a decent bloke. Whereas Romney seems to be an out of touch, backwards thinking, snobbish, magic-pants wearing buffoon.

It's for these reasons I want Romney to win. |

Never sure why the result matters to us tbh
Reckon if Gore had beaten Bush then we wouldn't have got in to such a fucking mess in Afghanistan and Iraq. The world would be a different place so I'd say it matters to everyone. Things will turn to shit in the middle east if Romney gets in. Israel will become even more powerful and it will be a matter of when not if they launch an attack on Iran. At which point everything will really turn to shit. |
