Competency & Our United States

I used to think of our current Presidency as Machiavellian, with good long term intentions, but a lack of tact by choice. I was naive. I used to believe that they had a clear, direct, well thought out plan that was kinda evil, but might benefit the world. I was simple. I used to think they could cover themselves. They were wrong.

Now perhaps they will still do something significant. Perhaps they will still make something happen. Iraq, at significant cost, will repair itself. Democracy will root itself. The people are paying with their blood right now. They will ingrain it into themselves. Maybe bull headed constitution is all that can fix the situtation. I hope, for the whole planets sake. Maybe this regime will pull a magic trick out of their hat. Maybe Iran is ready to open its doors to the US in exchange for knowledge from the rest of the world (see China). Maybe the US is ready to suddenly reestablish open communications with Iran. Maybe we have been in Cuba for the last five years negotiating an end to our embargo. There are a lot of possibilities in the world.

I used to trust in their competancy. Now I believe I was fooled.
