News from overseas

The news of the boost to Kerry's campaign provided by the evidence that looted explosives were there when the US army look control had me giggling more than it should.

Whereas the news of Osama Bin Laden's video message to the USA had me going "Oh no that's all we need."

I hope that US voters are sophisticated enough that not letting Bin Laden affect theri democracy, means that the message should have zero effect either way. This means that they should equally not vote for Kerry because of the threats, but that they should not vote for Bush in direct defiance of the message.
