I get frustrated sometimes with American style tunnel vision on foreign affairs. IRAQ, IRAQ, IRAQ, IRAQ!!!
It's as if there can only be one other country in the world at any given point. It doesn't affect me so bad if I'm working on a predominantly Republican board, but to see apathy to what should be a subject of extreme interest on a predominantly leftward board is somewhat upsetting.
The left here is soooooo fixated on winning the presidential election, and has been for almost an entire decade, that I feel it's lost it's focus on "fixing" the world's wrongs, which is what it's supposed to be doing. Instead, the attention is paid to guys like Jimmy Carter because he can be relied on to bitch about Bush... I guess we're supposed to ignore the fact that the man's never met a despot he didn't like.
In their pursuit of power, many Democrats are willing to whitewash the atrocities of a Saddam and overlook Darfur because they're scared of being distracted from elections and whatnot...
I'm not saying the righties are great either...
Our whole system is pretty much fucked.

How can someone who obviously thinks so much of their ideas have so little respect for expressing them? How can someone who so yearns to be taken seriously make so little effort?!
