Who will be the next US president?
OH Kabir, Dhaka
With colossal wastage and extravaganza of untold billions and billions of dollars; US troops bogged down in Afghanistan and Iraq; blind support to Israeli atrocities on the Palestinians; spread of international terrorism; high unemployment; taxation, education and health services in shambles; and the image and prestige of the United Stated of America wrecked world over, would US President George Bush be re-elected in November 2004?Many Americans opine that the result of 2001 Presidential election was manipulated. Democrat candidate Vice President Al Gore got 51, 003, 894 popular votes and 266 electoral votes, Republican candidate George Bush got 40,459,211 popular votes and 271 electoral votes. They further say that in order to divert the public opinion from the controversial election, President George Bush cunningly attacked Afghanistan first and then Iraq. He disregarded and discarded the American public opinion, opposition and demonstration against the aggression before, during and after the US invasion of Iraq. But George Bush was belligerent, war mongering and dictatorial. He violated the UN charter, principles and resolutions, flouted the world public opinion, played mockery with democracy and human rights, abused his powers and position and committed crime against humanity. " He has put a spin on the truth to justify a war that will become one of the worst blunders in more than two centuries of American foreign policy," said US Senator Edward Kennedy. And Sue Niederer, mother of a US soldier killed in Iraq, said, " He died for President Bush's vendetta." Would the Democratic Senator John Kerry, a Vietnam veteran, be able to get elected to Oval Office, do away with the wrong doings of President George Bush, and put the USA on the right track again? We wish our friends, the American people, to decide their own future for a better tomorrow, justice and fair play for the peoples of Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and the whole world.
