The heart of the election

Bob Harris has been traveling about the globe lately and actually talking to people (instead of talking AT them like some people we know).

It would be outrageous to pretend to speak on behalf of about six billion people, of whom I have met vanishingly few, and whose languages I do not mostly speak. But I can tell you that I've met stunning unanimity, from South Africa to Thailand to New Zealand to Turkey to the Cook Islands and onward. All I can tell you is what I've heard with my own ears.

From the outside, as far as I can tell, the election we're about to have isn't about Bush or Kerry. It's really about whether you and I are OK with illegal war and bombing civilians and torturing people and indefinite detention.

If we say no, then a lot of folks are willing to put it all on Bush and give us a second chance.

But if we say yes to all this... there will come a whirlwind.
