It rained, at precisely the wrong time for that great celebration in Washington.
The fireworks did go on, if only after midnight. Skipped through the musical show that
accompanied it this morning. It is a mark of such events that they are largely unwatchable
on rerun: they are built on emotion, and the moment has passed...
Been following Le Monde's series on the US. Below, an interview with an American filmaker.
It's all something of remake to me: 'the country is threatened but we will get through this'.
Sounds like Vietnam all over again.
There is a great threat to my mind, though. And that is the indebtedness situation. I've
been thinking no one should run for office in the US - or Canada, for that matter - without
expressing how he/she would see a solution on this matter. That would shake down the
various political parties to get serious!!
