Either Barack Obama will win, or the Republican nominee will.

11. "A world of difference"

Yes, even though the outcomes are the same in so many cases, there's a difference there somewhere. I've asked the survivors at Haditha, the inmates at Guantanamo, the nameless, faceless dead and tortured at our proxy sites, the victims of drone attacks, the poor, the naked, the hungry and the homeless how much different their lot in life is. None of them can proffer an answer, but I am assured that as miserable as they are, things are ever so rosy! I wrestle with doubt, and remember a quaint old document, but the true Defenders of the Faith are here to assure me that while I may be angry or disappointed, I am never to question. And so it goes.
