Good question. I have no idea why BBC devotes such a huge amount of time to the US election. Nor CNN International. Most Americans don't find it all that interesting. Those who can't even participate must be bored shitless.

But what has it to do with Darfur ?

In being arrogant & big headed ? Sorry that's my opinion. "World's leader" in what ? Just because America speaks do all other countries jump ?

Darfur was just an example.
The ROW usually calls the US the Western Leader. That's all. Else why all the fuss about the election? Few in America give a doodle's twat about any election overseas and probably a big chunk of people give a toss about their own.

Maybe because unlike the elections in Thailand it may have a direct impact on them. I can sure remember the day when US media coverage of who would be "elected" the next Premier of the USSR was highly covered.

I think the world cares about this election because most of the world can empathise with pictures of dead children in the middle East.
i think most of the world sees Obama as less likely to continue with a very destructive foreign policy which has killed an untold number of innocents.

the world cares because fortunately some people are nice like that.

Right on cue. Enter the drama queen.

Yes, I want the "war-hawks" reduced in government. They will always be there, but BO will probably have people with a different mind-set in DoD, State, DIA, CIA, and NSC, etc., at least at the top tier-levels.

They brag about being worldleaders, and then get all touchy if others take an interest in their elections

Got to love it. LOL

That's because America is arrogant and couldn't give a shit about the rest of the world. It's selfish. If it happens outside of the US then who gives a toss. What kind of an attitude is that ?
Of course the rest of the world is interested in the US elections. They want to see which prat is going to try and fcuk the rest of the world next.

^CMN is giving victimization lessons Thursday at 8 p.m. in the Chiang Mai community center. I think Ant is assisting him.

American's don't give a shit about your elections, because they're ... your elections. We refer to it as minding your own business. Perhaps you should look into it.

Classic Texpat.

Leads with a childish and irrelevant personal attack:

and follows with a load of cobblers:

Nope, the US has never stuck its beak into the election process of another country. Never.

You'd have Gobbels rolling in his grave at the liberties you take with reason, rationale, and objective facts.

Can I assume only Americans can comment on US Issues and vice versa ?

no, you just ignore tex.

in the last few days he has claimed.

1. Trafalgar was a person.
2. There are gold miners in Hull.
3. There was a massive coalition involved in the iraq invasion.
4. The US doesn't get involved in Government building abroad.

Of late Tex has been like an amalgam of Boon Mee, blackgang, Accidental Ajarn, and Mr Earl. The worst bits.

It's like they're all sharing his login or something.

Just an angry, uneducated simpleton challenged beyond his capabilities and listening to the wrong people. But good on him for trying.

You can but then you would as with most assumer's be wrong.

i disagree, despite being woefully uninformed on nearly every issue they post on, i think jet gorgon and brit maveric should be able to continue to post their opinions here.

Did anyone else see HARDtalk on BBC today ? James Glassman was interviewed. Clever man he covered his arse well.

Bada bing.
Perfect.
It's like I have a crystal ball.

10% is about 30 million. Same as the entire population of Uganda.

^ Premier? President. Putin created the job of prime minister for himself.
