Now that Obama has been sworn-in and Brains has been dispatched to Texas, the world waits hopefully for things to get better. Early indications are positive -- already the new administration has moved to halt trials of US detainees in the "war on terror" and promised a new openness in government.
The American people seem very pleased with themselves and delighted with their new Pres. They should, perhaps, realise that the election of a non-loonie does not cancel-out their support for Bush, nor does it brings all of the dead innocents back to life. It will take time, good will and a huge effort for the US to reclaim its place in the community of nations. And maybe a little humility. I do not intend to strike a sour note here, for I think that Obama is just the man who might accomplish a resurrection of America's fortunes. But the excessive back-slapping is a little off-putting in light of the many millions who have been destroyed by America's folly.
As I said -- maybe it is time for a little humility, not something the US does well.
