| Comment | I don't have a clear message here... except to let you all know that a lot of us in the United States are working very hard to get the Republicans out of the White House, and to restore sanity to the US and our foreign policy.
 I'm always a little embarrassed recently - and even apologetic - whenever I deal with non-Americans. We've gotten ourselves into this unfortunate situation (Bush, Cheney, torture, Guantanamo, Iraq, financial deregulation and its consequences, the rise of the religious right, non-cooperation with the global community, etc.), and we can't escape responsibility. It's not good for us, and it's not good for the rest of the world. We're better than this!
 
 Not all Americans agree with me on these issues, of course, and that's as big a problem for me as it is for all of you.
 
 We can and should do a lot better. And in a few more weeks, I hope we will - not only in the Presidential race, but also in the Congress.
 
 Please wish us well in correcting this unfortunate situation through our upcoming elections.
