    Unlikely. Within the courses of history "pure" politics always take the backseat to an individual's ambition, or, more importantly, the economic concerns. It's the food on the table that pushes the masses, not the right to vote. And taxes are the closest thing the masses know about government. Trade deals for the masses are simply something very far away.

    They are in the 21st century, Panzer. Simple as that. It's 2005 in the Common Era now across the globe.

    Oh well, like it's going to happen anyway...

    By the way, I voted that the US should fight terrorism within the context of UN agreement. That doesn't include invading countries because your dad failed to finish the job.
