I'm glad that Mike's death was not in vain.

As I listened to the European and American commentary on the Iraqi elections, I couldn't help but think that all their deaths had some redeeming result: mllions being given the opportunity to become free. What the Iraqis do with that opportunity is now up to them. I pray that something positive comes of it.

The guys at Diplomad have written everything I felt and thought in response to the worldwide commentary, with one exception: I think Teddy Kennedy is a delusional pompous windbag and an ass!

I couldn't stand him when I was in NYC and worked with members of his family on a local level. I couldn't stand him when I was an education reform lobbyist in DC. I still couldn't stand him when I returned to NY after living overseas, and I definitely can't stand seeing or hearing him in the news now. I wish he would just blow up already!

Now there's some transference of anger and grief that's appropriately placed.
