Discourse

I arrived in Washington right on time about 2pm and within 15 minutes was in a spirited discussion with my cab driver from Afghanistan. We agreed taking out the Taliban was probably good, although that victory isn't complete by any means. He lamented the fact that bush invaded Iraq because it is destablising his country and family who remain in Afghanistan. He said he hoped Americans would vote their displeasure at the polls in the midterm elections next November. Then I get to Bobbi's apartment and there is a "DEMS '06" bumper sticker waiting for me.

There is never any lack of political discussion in this town.
