Totally agree with nell........americans made a grave mistake by choosing Bush again.........the thing that bothers me is that political analysts asserted republicans appealed better to the public in terms of Values and issues related to faith, as swati thapa said earlier, there's no separation of church and state in the current state and that's what the republicans used to their advantage in impressing general americans(mainly from south).....whatever, we cannot change anything anyway, just hope the consequences won't be too grave in the next 4 yrs........i am sure in global perspective this re-electing of bush must be seen with apprehension and quizzical looks around the world........
