another corrupt hotshot out of office

first it was former house majority leader tom delay of texas. now it’s italian prime minister silvio berlusconi. both of them are entirely corrupt, crooked to the core. and good riddance! now that silvio berlusconi lost the election, italian prosecutors will be free to charge him with crimes, something they could not do when he was in office due to the prosecutorial immunity of italian prime ministers. so, one by one, all of bush’s allies in western europe have lost elections and had to turn over power to the opposition. all except one. tony blair. but tony blair is going to retire and gordon brown will take over as the leader of labour. tony blair was the only member of the coalition of the willing who could actually talk a good game, and sound like a decent human being... that man can talk his way out of anything. but he is just another con man, and his days as prime minister are numbered, since he has announced he will retire. only time will tell whether tony blair’s successor will want britain to remain america’s lapdog and the laughingstock of the world. at least spain and italy have been liberated from the neocon curse. there isn’t much hope for eastern europe; poland, hungary, romania, and bulgaria are sure to remain dubya’s pawns. well maybe not hungary, but the other 3. hungary just had an election and the socialists won; who knows whether they will want to side with bush or the european union. since hungary doesn’t have the euro yet, there might be some pressure to abandon the alliance with the united states before they are allowed to come closer into the european fold. belarus remains as the last rogue state in europe, propped up by russia. i wonder if the revolution that happened in georgia and ukraine will make its next stop in belarus. vladimir putin will probably see to it that it doesn’t; he has had enough humiliations at the hands of bush, who now has russia surrounded by tiny little enemies. if only we could send all the islamic radicals back to chechnya... that would really drive the russians up the wall. of course, our relations with turkmenistan are very good, which makes them a perfect place to invade iran from. so, we can already attack iran from 3 sides: iraq in the west, afghanistan in the east, and turkmenistan in the north. we could even launch a 4th attack from the south, if we really want: the united arab emirates, another close ally of ours, is just across the straights of hormuz (a tiny exclave of oman called musandam is in the way, but oman is also a close ally). and will anyone else help us if we invade iran? nope! cuz, like i said before, britain is our last ally in western europe, and we will probably lose it too, once tony blair is gone. the only country we would be able to get to send troops would be israel... and that would be a big mistake on their part, so even they would probably say no, because they would fear the retaliation. so, our only option to get enough troops would be to bring back the draft. then i would probably be drafted and sent to the front lines, whether i like it or not. tehran, here i come!
