After reading a nasty report from a planted Obama campaign, about Clintons being allegedly responsible for job loss to India, from the Obama quarters, I decided I would go for McCain this November, if at all I could vote, that is.
And then I heard the "50 years or 100 years in Iraq" and "Wish he joined his friend Marx" (referring to Fidel Castro, after he stepped down due to ill-health) comments from McCain dude. All my respect for McCain's alleged service to nation vaporized. I am kind of left orphaned in my quest for whom to support or vote, this time around. I had at least hatred for the Bush administration to guide me in earlier elections, darn, I couldn't vote then.
This dude talks much about Reagan. Shouldn't speak ill of dead people, especially if they happened to be charming, handsome and popular actors. Then there's also the case that people deal with the cards they are dealt with, the way they do, there's no rationalizing or analyzing with 20/20 hindsight wisdom. But, isn't Reagan, singlehandedly responsible for the ugly Islamic militancy and terrorism, all in the name of ridding the world off Communism?
The scums supported Afghan Mujaheddin in their quest for "freedom", and laid to waste the Soviet Union. I have no sympathy for Soviet Union, but looking at the way Russia is transpiring today, against America if you do read the currents, wasn't it all a heck of waste?
Kashmir problem, which was non-existent until the Soviets left Afghanistan, suddenly blazed in full fury after 1988. Al-Qaeda has now taken the place of the Soviets, Afghanistan still burns, and threatens to burn the neighborhood. Pakistan is wasted beyond repair, and they satiate their blood lust in India. Being in Iraq is like riding the tiger, not knowing when to disembark. Iran is a major pain in the rear.
At least then, there was one enemy with a face, now you don't know where to fend.
Ladies and gentlemen, if there was one single villain of the 1980s, it was Reagan. Don't pass the blame anywhere else. McCain, next time you open your mouth, you better be embarrassed if you are to take the name of Reagan. It's so convenient to let blood spill in other parts of the world, and talk about "War on terror" in plushy hotels while collecting campaign contributions, ain't it?
