And so does the positivity of our current presidency!!!
I hope this exuberant Shi'ite comes to realize that "democracy" only refers to the political PROCESS, as he really doesn't desire mob rule and the tyranny of the majority in place of the dictatorial tyrant!
Irrational exuberance with drunken debauchery, along with sexual perversion in the oval office of the "gay nineties" and it's speculative economic "bubble" are definitely not what this giddy Shi'ite should be expecting.
Dashed expectations can be a terrible thing for individuals and nations, alike!!!
In short, the mood feels a bit as it it did after September 11. Americans are pulling together. There is a yearning to perform some act of public service. There is greater revulsion at those who are trying to divide the country. There is no tolerance for alienated poses.
Yes that describes things rather well!
