They're pleased, needless to say:
U.S. citizens went to the polls on Tuesday to elect 435 representatives, 33 senators, and 36 governors, and the votes are nearly all counted now.
Democrats took control of the House of Representatives for the first time since 1994.
The results from California and Washington indicate that the Democrats have actually polled more votes, despite the fact that the Republicans had done well in those states in recent years.
In fact, the Iraq war was the decisive factor in the United States’ midterm congressional elections, which some Arab political analysts have called the “Iraqi congressional elections”.
During the electoral campaigns, Democrats underlined the need for a vote for change, while the Republicans were still insisting on “staying the course” in the so-called campaign against global terrorism.
With the loss of the House, the Republicans will no longer have a free hand in formulating and implementing foreign policy. The loss also bodes ill for their prospects in future elections, especially the 2008 presidential election.
A little wishful thinking there!
George W. Bush’s failure to establish security in Iraq, the White House’s support for the Zionist regime’s aggressive policies against the Lebanese and Palestinian nations, and the Republicans’ failure to properly handle the ominous phenomenon of terrorism have all frustrated U.S. voters.
