Alas, the US Right isn't comparable to the Euroright, who are a nasty bunch, but don't have a trillion dollar war machine at their disposal, nor a recent history of genocidal blood-letting, nor a complete lack of Left parties and well-funded public media to rein them in. I have no illusions about Obama, but the MacChurian Candidacy will be infinitely worse for ordinary US citizens, because it will make the birth-pangs of the post-American world much more bloody and awful than otherwise.
