It is not my intention to speak for those who have to face GWB's 
direct blows (Cuba, Venezuela), but

(a) our problem is _not_ that LA has had enough of Bush, our problem 
is that LA has had (lots more than) enough of imperialism, and [most 
important]

(b) the American people doesn't seem to have had enough of 
imperialism as yet.

Thus, our problem is not "ABB", it is "ABAI" (that is, "anything but 
American Imperialism").  If Bush serves a second term, maybe the 
American working class will start to feel they have had more than 
enough of imperialism themselves.

In this sense, the man is serving _us_ better than the American 
bourgeoisie.

Were I an American radical, I wouldn't care less about the continuity 
of Bush.  I would not rejoice at a second term, but I would not drink 
champagne at a fast recall.

Yes, of course: this may sound cynical to Cubans, Venezuelans, and so 
on.  I am aware of that.  And I certainly respect this position.  It 
is quite easy to prattle about your best neighbor's backyard while 
the tornado is menacing his house and not yours.  However, it should 
be accepted that there is a good deal of general truth to what I am 
saying.  With Kerry things might be smoother (at first, at least: I 
don't see him releasing the grip on Colombia, etc.), but they will 
run along the same lines they have been running up to this day, and 
will be more cunningly framed up.
