the US presidential election is all set for next week. that's on Nov 4, Tuesday. and most opinion polls has african-american Senator Obama leading in most states. if surveys are to be trusted, America will have its first black president come January 20, 2009 who wants to reform US's policy in Iraq and terrorism in general.
when that happens, a major change in its policy will be the shifting of its war on terror from the Iraqi front line back to Afghanistan and will now include the Pakistan region.
now, terrorists from that front have been following developments in the US and are enormously unhappy, in fact displeased, with McCain's performance in surveys as an Obama win in this election would mean an end to their break from clashes since the US war against the Taleban. and, boy! are they packing up. in their future attacks, they've decided to have McCain as their sole target.
Iraqi terrorist on the other hand are celebrating as they will be getting a break from the fighting and have vowed to protect Obama in appreciation of his reformist policies.
Obama, BTW, is not the first black to be nominated for US president, and had Hillary Clinton won the democratic nomination she would not have been the first woman either. if you check the history of US presidential elections, on the lines of third parties, you would find Lenora Fulani who ran in 1988 and 1992 under the New Alliance Party. She is African-American.
there are a number of "other nominees" or third parties and indepents in this US Pres'l elections. including those who failed to get a major nomination from either the republican or democratic parties. (yeah! if you can't join them, try to beat them! that's the spirit!)
do you know that even comedian stephen colbert (of "the colbert reports") sought the democratic nomination for this presidential elections? 'bet you don't know that, do you? gov. arnold actually conceded because of this guy, not because he was not natural-born second-to-stallone.
Colbert was just goofing around actually (and arnold took him seriously).
now, how's that for my deep understanding of the US elections?
hah!...
