Patience? Ha.

"Bush calls for patience on Iraq"
is the headline for world news today.

It's ironic on two scales. Bush is asking us to be patient with the situation, as if five years is only an introduction. As if it hasn't been long enough. Furthermore, as if he had the patience from the beginning. Did not he just jump right into the war? Did not he just ignore everyone else's suggestions? Did not he just became impatient and took matters into his own hands, hands that proved to become unreliable?

There are anti-Bush riots in Europe, where they have the most history and experience with political leaders. My older sister told me how the entire nation becomes very safe when major world leaders, like Condoleeza Rice, visits as not to incur any problems for future international relations. But, in all of the history, our President is not welcome in Europe. It's embarrasing, I think.

On a lighter note, hopefully, this 2008 election will bring about a new leader who knows his or her stuff, well.
