Is Bush To 'Blame' For Successes Too? So much good news out there today. After 3 years of prodding and holding the line on North Korea's nuclear arsenal ambitions, North Korea pledged to drop its nuclear weapons development and rejoin international arms treaties in a unanimous agreement Monday at six- party arms talks. And on another front, Afghanistan held their first parliamentary elections in decades with an 80-85% voter turnout, representing not only their desire for democracy and freedom but the rejection of the Taliban's terror threats and intimidation. Good news is still hard to find, but it is happening. Only question remaining in my mind is how  the DNC will spin this to be something bad, or to give credit to the wrong person and party? The dems have another chance to perhaps reverse their 'opposition party' stance toward the Bush administration by recognizing these events as a positive step for both North Korea and Afghanistan, not to mention the rest of the world. Interesting to note the passion that the Afghan people have for freedom and democracy. Over there, roadside bombs and suicide bombers don't keep voters from voting. In the United States, there are democrats complaining that having a valid ID will keep voters from voting. The apparent disconnect here is unfathomable. 9:03:46 AM    comment [] trackback []
