Baraka....you left out an important component...at least from the US side of the equation.

The US Congress, a co-equal branch of government....at least in theory, if not in practice when the Republicans controlled Congress in most of Bush's first six years.

The Democrats will increase their majorities in both the House and Senate. The Democratic majority in the House of 235-199 could increase by 5-10 seats. In the Senate, the 51-49 majority could increase by 4-7 seats.

If there is a McCain presidency, one thing you wont see is a complete capituation by Congress in the same manner as during the Bush first term.
