I have been looking forward to a Pixies discussion on the ramifications of four more years - I wasn't expecting it to revolve around CP's unspecified investment in China - but why not.

To add my foreigner's view, I think at home and abroad we share the same apprehension. Namely that I don't feel any empathy to those who put Mr. Bush back in he White House, and I am sure they haven't the slightest interest in me. Whilst I would probably have been a happy fiscal republican under dear Ronnie, the Republican Base under Bush, I find too closed minded to share a table with.

The issue for all of us I think will be how much Bush will concede to a uniquely American sub group who elected him and how this will affect your internal freedoms and our external welfare and OK CP our economies.

I do think though that if Mr. Bush does try to invade anywhere else, he may find the International community polarised against him, and if he tries anything before the UK election next year, he will certainly lose his major ally Mr. Blair as we would vote him out.
