Rumsfeld bites the big one!

Donald Rumsfeld has finally stepped down. The Democrats are no better than the Republicans as far as the Israel-Palestien issue goes. Bar the fact that they are as much pro-free trade as the Republicans. Let’s forget that there is not a nuance of left wing in the Democratic party. Let us forget that the Kyoto treaty still won’t be signed. Ban on landmines and arms control won’t happen. Much will remain the same … however – it is a time of celebration. In a country with a political spectrum ranging from right to righter, the people have used the best choice available. They have ousted the Republican grip on all that moves in politics, but more importantly they have forced the most arrogant of all military leaders to resign. The architect behind the Iraqi tragedy. The man who decided that State Department intelligence and army experience were liabilities rather than assets. The man who is directly responsible for Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay. This makes Donald Rumsfeld a war criminal that has thrown gasoline on the Middle Eastern fire that he was the architect behind. No matter what happens the next two years his ousting must be celebrated as the greatest achievement of yesterdays election. Glad to see you go Mr. Unknown Unknown.
