Does anyone envision an international backlash to this election?

[Riddler]

After all, shithead made us the most hated nation in the world, with the world universally opposed to his re-election. Now, with the fix in, and shithead back for another 4 years of imperialism, what is the feeling that the international community will have towards the US? Will they bend over and offer up the vaseline like Blair or will they have the balls that no one else has had in standing up to him and letting the world know what an imposter he is?

1. I hope so, we deserve it. The world community should shun us...

fuck us over in every way, not cooperate with us, ignore our requests and alliances, make life very painful for the government.

[RandomKoolzip]

2. I don't know, but I do know I'd rather be in Europe right now. n/t

[NJCher]

3. yes, I think so

I envision an economic move.

[JHBowden]

4. Kinda.

We're already on iggy in many places, which will probably become the status quo.

[YDogg]

5. I hope Blair ...

... goes down in flames. That's just an old saying, of course.

[Dez]

6. I'm buying a Power Ball ticket

and hopefully I win so I can move to Canada

[March of Time]

13. He won't go down..

But I believe he'll be forced into a coalition with the LibDems.

Manowar's Hail to England will be playing on my computer all day should taht happen.

[Loki]

7. It's coming

and it won't be pretty. If we are attacked again, we will have no foreign goodwill, in fact, I think they will rejoice. This country will have to fall and fall hard before things will get better. I fear for my children.

[Sapphocrat]

8. Well, France saved our collective ass...

...during the Revolution.

WWII, we saved France's ass.

Looks like it's time for France to save our collective ass again. (We'll owe you another favor, mon freres!)

[Walt Starr]

9. Not I

I see the rest of the world having two choices:

1) Accept the government of the United States as is and work with us.

2) Unite as a single, cohesive alliance and take us out.

#2 will NEVER happen.

[moondust]

10. Rise of the EU and China.

Less deference to the U.S. as it grows increasingly ultranationalistic, isolated, and irrelevant.

[demokatgurrl]

11. COUNT on it. n/t

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

12. I think it's only a matter of when.

Don't think for a minute our "pre-emptive strike" mantra is going to fly a second time. We're going to try it and we're going to find mounted opposition to it.

[Gregorian]

14. They already have begun to oppose us.

The resistance will get stronger. And if Shithead gets arrogant enough, I believe they'll get more active. Preemptive, if you will.

[autorank]

15. I would personally like to thank the Labour Party for screwing us.

Blair could have and should have been removed. Had that happened, enough people would have seen in very stark terms the absurdity of the * foreign policy. Yet Labour, the part of the left in Britain, propped this war criminal up and gave * the halo effect of credibility. As a nation, we should have recognized our multitude of problems but obviously we need help.

Never has there been a more clear case for removal from office. The left did that to Johnson for his insane war.

Thank you so much Labour party; you are a collection of the very worst people in the world. You deserve to go down and stay down forever.

[LynnTheDem]

16. Oh yeah.

I think that's pretty much guaranteed.

Remember, BUSH IS A TOTAL FAILURE. At EVERYTHING.

HELL YEAH we're going to see HUGE backlash.

[LisaLynne]

17. If * wins ...

I wonder if the US will become marginalized. It could happen. The EU really is gaining power and China ... well, China is China. That might be come the new center of power, leaving us over here...a failing theocracy. Dangerous, sure.

[DeepModem Mom]

18. I'm afraid they will now bow to Bush's unchecked power --

we have failed to stop him.

[evilqueen]

19. Maybe some nuclear superpower will "liberate" us from our oppressors.

And pre-emptively strike.

Heh. Sounds so familiar.

[Nimrod]

20. Godless Commie Pinko Stuff

::puts on flame-proof suit::

The rest of the world MUST unite against us. We cannot be allowed to continue on this path chosen for us. We have shown our true colors, and we can no longer be trusted to show goodwill, mercy, or integrity. Those who have the will to change the nation's direction from within have had their power to do so eroded to grains of sand against a flood.

Evil now holds this nation in an iron grip, and the rest of the world MUST see and recognize the threat we now present, for their own safety.

[Maiden England]

21. People, We are the most dangerous country in the world

as much as I'm sitting here hoping to high heaven the rest of the world shoves a bowling ball up King george's ass, we have to face a very important face.
We have a shit pile of nukes. We are fun by a fundy nutcase. Ergo, we are really dangerous. Other countries are going to take this into account in a big way.
I think the best we can hope for is a subtle drubbing of our economy, countries refusing to buy bond issues, withdrawing support from the dollar. Hoping to cripple us economically, without sanctions, without outspoken action. If King george doesn't get us involved in an apocalyptic WWIII, life is still gonna suck in a huge huge way.

[kayell]

22. If they don't, they are nuts. * knows NO ethical or moral limits.

The fraud and theft proves it if nothing else has done had clued them in. I don't think the world is stupid.

NO concession, NO surrender.

[Politicub]

23. I hope so, but

Isn't Survivor on tomorrow night?

Oh, and I heard a new American Idol is starting up...

Look at that shiny object...
