Four More Months - Or Two?

Here are some comments from a BBC website discussion on delaying the US Nov 2nd elections:

"If Lincoln held elections during the Civil War, we can hold elections in the United States in 2004. Polling takes place at schools, libraries, and other public facilities throughout the country; it is a de-centralized activity that, unlike the World Series or the Super Bowl, is not easy to stop or even handicap with a terrorist attack. Has the Bush administration proposed postponing these sporting events? No. It's an election that they want to stop, because it's an election that they fear."

"Bush has earned the cynicism and mistrust of the people. Even if there were legitimate reasons to postpone the election, at least half of Americans would believe it's a conspiracy for a struggling President to hold onto power. I'm not sure they'd be wrong. Nothing this administration does should ever be trusted again."

- Shawn, Washington DC, USA

My own thoughts? Why not do what Paul Bremer did in Iraq and bring the elections FORWARD a month or two??? That will fool all those dang-blasted terrrrrrrrrsts!
