I'm one of the non-Americans to vote for Kerry. I have to say, I don't care a huge amount about the war in Iraq. It doesn't significantly affect me. Nor am I one of the guys who votes on a party line (heck, I think members of *any* party have about an equal chance of sucking

).
My view is based more around Bush's fiscal policy. Enacting tax cuts when you have an
increasing deficit is just not a sustainable thing to do, yet he insists that it is a great idea. Relatively speaking, the US does an awful lot now with not much (OK, so maybe the war
does come into this, since this adds more to the "stuff governement does" side), and I worry that cutting back even further will affect truly essential services that I may need to rely on when I come over to the US to work.
Government takes money to do its job. Everyone complains about it, sure, but just pretending it doesn't is not a valid solution - it's like scheduling work you know will never get done in the time you've given for it, and everyone in (eg) the computer games industry knows how well that works . . . the schedule slips, and if things are not improved, the company goes bust. I don't want to go work in a country that's on the road to going bust, and I think that Bush's fiscal policy leads down that road.
