[shockingelk]

Since it's formation, 14 nations in the Coalition of the Willing have held elections for their head of state.

7% have been re-elected
7% have died in office
7% have resigned
79% have been defeated at the ballot box or forced out of office

2. In other countries, they still practice "accountability"

Hopefully, we will too, come November.

5. Yes!

I'm hoping that Bush's chances of getting elected are no more than 7%.

3. I hope we didn't

lose the support of Micronesia and the Solomon Islands.

We couldn't possibly have a successful military coalition without them.
