American Election

Yesterday, saw the second Bush-Kerry presidential debate. Went on for 90+ minutes and was a pretty intense affair. And it would be surprising to me, if someone still votes for Bush. He is so biased and steadfast. He said statements like, "these people hate us, and we need to get rid of them". The policy he is pursueing, very soon there will be very few people who will not hate America. And then I guess, they will kill off everybody.

Heard a very coherent debate from a few friends recently, about the need to limit Iran/Korea/Iraq from having a nuclear weapon. They said, that in a non-democracy those might fall in the hands of bad people, and hence should be limited. By that argument, India can have nuclear weapons, right. But, still India had to face sanctions. I think it is just a way to maintain a world order that is favourable to the rich western countries. How can one explain the UN permanent member concept. And how US abuses it to block every resolution asking Israel to have some respect for human life and property. Anyway, I think very soon the world will turn different. China/India/Brazil coming up in a big way, economics is definitely going to force a change in the current biased world order.
