Call me crazy, but I think the jury is still out on Russia's conversion to a free society. It's a great idea to form personal ties/friendships with future leaders in the Russian military, but I also think we should be very careful here.
Let the Brits vote. What are the EU overlords afraid of? (...besides another nail in the coffin).
Obviously the British population will need to be re-educated on the virtues of establishing yet another layer of expensive bureaucracy before any vote will be allowed (and only then when the polls show a majority in favor).
Perhaps if the vote is recounted another 20 times Richardson will have time enough to, ah, "find" enough votes for a Kerry victory. Of course, by then it will be 2008, and the outcome will be unaffected anyway......
Now that the election is over, and the MSM doesn't have to suppress the truth from the American people on Kerry's behalf, the truth will finally come out. It won't be pretty.
