RESPONSE TO DEMOCRAT VICTORY

Europeans are excited about the Democrat victory in the 2006 midterm elections, but Asians are fearful of what the Democrats will do.

The Democrats are being lauded in Europe and much of the Americas as the heroes of the hour, rescuing the USA from those mad neocons. But in most of Asia the perception is quite different -- of the Democrat majority as a threat, an enemy of trade, and a busybody across a broader range of issues than the Republican human rights campaigners with their predictable religious focus.
