Pakistan's Elections Delayed

In light of Pakistan's political climate, parliamentary elections will be delayed until February 18th. I wanted to take the time to say how lucky we are to be Americans. I hear too much people complaining about our government, our democracy, and the faults of this country. It is more than a great thing to constructively criticize Congress and the Bush administration, but at the same time, we should recognize the almost supernatural stability of our federal government. We are the ONLY country in the history of this world who has held consistent elections, even through times of civil war and international conflict. That is a feat among feats.
