Australia: Progressive Views from Oz
Issues such as the war on terror, Iraq and Afghanistan have dominated Australian posts but there is also lively interest in the US presidential election. Most of the key bloggers about international and US politics could be categorized as progressive, left or liberal.

Iraqi bloggers gave US presidential hopeful Senator John McCain a lukewarm reception, during his recent visit to Iraq. One describes the visit as illegal, the other says Baathists would welcome seeing a Republican president continuing in the Oval Office and the third is adamant that Americans will elect McCain - no matter what the world thinks.
The logic of Cannibals
I don't want to be a Cassandra in disguise — But I'll bet you anything, that the Americans will vote for Mc Cain — another one, again… A hopeless case. Mind you, if they vote for Hillary or Obama, it will amount to the same thing… Something about Americans, they...
