I think the thing that's on everyone's mind as election day approaches is the war in Iraq. Few people wil disagree that it has been a disaster, with this past October giving us the highest US body count in a year, and armed militias operating unchallenged, purging Shiite neighborhoods of Sunnis and Sunni neighborhoods of Shiites, and executing those from the wrong group who enter areas under their control. Who is responsible for this mess?
Well, I've just learned from a flyer from the Maryland Democratic Party that the blame falls on three people: Governor Bob Erlich, former Lieutenant Governor and Senate candidate Michael Steele, and George W. Bush. I'm embarrassed that I didn't know this, but I really don't have time to read the whole paper every day. I knew Bush had something to do with it, but the involvement of these two Marylanders comes as a shock to me. I wish I could learn more, but, well, I gotta get that absentee ballot sent in, so I'm just gonna go with what I got. Thanks for the heads up, MDP!
