Chris Rock about the War on Terror

Stolen from a certain Mr Game:

why (hopefully) the US elections will go like they will. There was a wonderful moment on Newsnight when Paxman, who increasingly represents the most obnoxious face of the British ruling class whimsically pointed out that the war was 'irrelevent' in the US election. He was vociferously contradicted by all Americans on the panel. The reason he was attempting to assert this was because of the elites visceral dislike of any concensus established by popular mobilization. In correctly warning that Obama is not about to change the nature of US capitalism it is absolutely vital that socialists do not resemble the dissolute cynicism of our rulers. You see the erosion of Bush all through Chris Rock's act amongst ordinary people even if he is hardly very radical himself. That erosion has been an excellent thing and the vote tonight is an index of it depth. And that is no bad thing. Hopefully
