If Hillary wins the popular vote in all 50 states, I say she has a real claim to the Superdelegates, and the nomination!

Today on the fifth anniversary of 9/11, I heard some commentators discussing how GWB will be looked at in a historical context.  Well, I personally find him to be a figure who will not be looked at kindly by history.  

On 9/11/2001, George W Bush was given something that very few Presidents get, in fact something that very few people in the world have ever been given.  Opportunity.  For a very brief moment, the whole world was united, and George Walker Bush had the Opportunity to unite the world in a true battle of good versus evil.  However, he failed miserably, and now, five years later, the majority of Americans disapprove of his performance as President, and possibly more importantly, the tremendous outpouring of good faith that united the world after 9/11 has been squandered, and will now be very difficult to regain.  Now, it appears that more people hate American than did on 9/10/2001, which is another terribly tragedy, since is unfortunately means that there are probably more terrorists today who hate us than there were on 9/10/2001.  

I think the Iraqis need to be given the opportunity to vote in a referendum, just like it is done in California, to see whether they want US combat troops in their country.  This could decide the issue, without our having Senators coming out in favor of unilateral withdrawal.  Also, it would be hard for GWB to oppose this, since he has already told us that Iraq is a democracy and that their votes need to be respected.  I think pushing for such a referendum would be not only good for the Iraqis, but would obviously be a good position for Democrats.  Then the Senators & Reps wouldn't need to be in favor of unilateral leaving, they could be in favor of having the democratic voters of Iraq vote on this up or down.  I would even be in favor of staying if there was a real vote telling us that the Iraqis wanted that (Bush doesn't get to count the votes).  I think this idea could be a great way for our DEM congresspeople to deal with this issue in this most important election year.
