American Elections equals WORLD ELECTIONS

In case you didn't know, because I sure didn't, THE ENTIRE WORLD really is watching our elections in the US. I hear about it from my friends from England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Scotland, AND Japan. They know who the candidates are and some knowthe different issues and viewpoints. The DNC in DENVER (woot woot) was shown on Japanese TV, it's on the radio, my Japanese co-workers want to know who I'm going to vote for. I've had a few international friends tell me that they think they should be able to vote in the American elections since what we do affects the whole world. Think about how crazy that is and how much power that is. Can you name the prime minister of Canada?Australia? England? Japan? New Zealand? Do you even know how their political systems work or even know that they HAD prime ministers? Did you know that Japan's prime minister recently resigned? Did you know that they are all waiting on pins and needles for Bush to leave (literally everyone that I talk to that's not from America)? They ACTUALLY care about what's going to happen in the US because apparently it affects them too....wow....ponder that
