Mudville Gazette

A MILBLOG

The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

Good morning America.

My sincere thanks to all those who voted.

Imagine that while you were sleeping the largest airlift of its kind deposited a battalion of lawyers into Ohio, armed to the teeth with technology and briefs not available in the previous combat, the infamous Florida ?00 campaign.

Did it happen? Or was it just a nightmare for many and a fond dream for some?

We?ll know soon enough. There?s been some talk this election regarding who America?s enemies would like to see win, and why. That's all pointless chatter now, but this much is certain: they?d love nothing better then to see America torn and divided, with ?He?s not my president!? as our unofficial national motto for another four years.

So here?s a thought to start your day:

John Kerry now has a chance to be something of an American hero, to follow a long tradition of American Statesmen and concede, and call for a nation to unite in support of its democratically chosen Commander in Chief.

Having failed in his first opportunity to be a hero years ago in Vietnam, what will he do this time?

I await my chance to cheer for his statesmanlike conduct.

Update: NZ has similar thoughts and links to many others.
