Voting

Australia's election is over, and it looks like Prime Minister John Howard has been re-elected. (pause for momentary dance of joy). Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, elections have been taking place. I don't expect that to be a perfect election. It's their first time. But they will get better at it. They've already caught up to the U.S. in one regard... the opponents are already challenging the legitimacy of the election.

I'll be back later with more thoughts, but for now, it seems that things are going well.
