The big difference is that this year, we are at war in Iraq and Afghanistan and neither is going very well at the moment. Just off the top of my head is a short list of events that occurred while W was on his Big Vacation:
1. A car bomb at UN headquarters in Bagdad kills 17 people, including the Secretary-General's Special Representative for Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello.
2. We've had bombings at the Jordanian Embassy killing 10
3. Major military operations have begun again in Afghanistan
4. American troops continue to get killed everyday.
5. At least 82 people were killed in a car bomb outside the main mosque in the Iraqi holy city of Najaf, killing Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim, our very own hand picked cleric.
6. More than 300,000 Muslims are beginning a two-day, 110-mile march to the holy city of Najaf on Sunday to mourn Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim
So what ya gona do if you're W?
Tour the country and focus like a laser on the economy. And wait for the next MIHOP to pull your sorry ass out of the fire.
