Reply #159: I agree, it's a good thing

[Mistwell]

I can dislike Bush, dislike the war, and still think the elections held today were a good thing.

I just don't understand why some of my fellow DU'ers feel the need to drag EVERYTHING down if it is in some way connected to Bush.

You know, Hitler made the trains run on time. I can hate Hitler, and still like it when the trains run on time. It doesn't mean I am endorsing Hitler because it was his policies that led to the trains running on time...I can appreciate a good thing in itself.

Elections in middle eastern countries that previously had no elections are a good thing. Even if it's a flawed election, it's still good that people there get used to the concept of voting for leaders. And even if a bad person brought those elections around, it's STILL a good thing in itself that the election was held.

Sometimes, I think DU is full of a bunch of depressed people...
