A late night news round-up
Good news from the United States – at least for now. It seems that as the American public gets to know John Kerry (with the help of the Republican advertising blitz, and with the help of Kerry himself), the better the chances of George W become. Once again, it seems that the adulation and support of the media and foreigners is just not enough to elect a Democrat president. Fortunately for the Americans (and the rest of the Free World, whatever that is at the moment), the media is one of the most unrepresentative voting groups in the nation, and foreigners don’t vote at all.
Meanwhile, Spain is once again in the grip of a terrorist panic, as another bomb is defused along a high-speed train line from Madrid to Seville. But hang on! Haven’t the Spaniards just elected a left-wing government hostile to the United States and fully committed to abandoning Iraq to terrorists? I thought that appeasement was supposed to protect us from the terrorists. Mr Latham, please explain…
And a recent list of countries to be targeted by the terrorist, published on an al-Quaeda-run website, includes not just the usual suspects from the Coalition of the Willing, but also – in the fifth place – Canada. But hang on! Hasn’t Canada been consistently limp-wristed, refusing to have anything to do with liberation of Iraq? Hasn’t the Canadian Prime Minister’s communication director even called George W Bush a moron? I thought that appeasement was supposed to protect us from the terrorists. Mr Latham, please explain…
