Nah. Duray's never wrong. Ask him. :-)

From the article he's responding to:
Spanish voters have already given their verdict on the
judgment of their former prime minister. Australians have
their chance this weekend. Americans should use their
vote in less than four weeks' time to express their disgust
with a president who rushed their country into so
unnecessary and damaging a war. We British will probably
have to wait at least until next year.

Funny. It looked to me like the Spanish gave in to blackmail (a VERY unwise course), and the Australians kept their guy in in spite of attacks against them in Indonesia, exhibiting the backbone the Spanish lacked. As to the British, the opposition may propose a vote of no confidence at any time. Standard procedure is for the PMs to counter with a vote of confidence which takes precedence. If the vote of confidence loses, no Parliamentary elections are forced and Britain can get a new PM.

We shall soon see what Americans are made of these days.
