European citizens and the 2008 elections


Citizens of the United States often get caught up in the question "how the next American President is going to serve its Country?". What is often forgotten is how the decision of the next American President will affect the the world? Many Europeans for example rest uneasy knowing that the fate of a large portion of the political world is being held in the exclusive hands of United States Citizens. When asked about the upcoming 2008 Presidential elections, several European citizens respense arrived at the same conclusion "American presidential elections are not ‘home affairs'. American decisions have repercussions all over the globe.... Hence, the world should be given the right to vote." Although many Europeans have come to the same census on the topic of being able to vote, this does not mean that their opinions of the next American President wiil hold any similarities of the sort.
