Post Election Day Changes

One curious note is that after Bush got elected to President of the world's sole super-power, he commanded the US forces to invade Fallujah. That would be a very unpopular decision before the voting and thus the reason why he ordered the strike specifically after the election period - as I'm sure many families would be sensitive especially if their sons/daughters are in a far off land fighting a war.

In the same lines, I have a reason to think that there would be a number of new things implemented after the TRT party gets into power for the 2nd term in Thailand. The first would be the increase of the Diesel prices. The second one would be the introduction of many new taxes to fund the populist policies initiated to "convince" votes before the election. The third prediction is that our country would be off to some new strange crusade and there would be many more extra-juidical killings.

Its just strange, I just think I have seen the future ;)
