Query: could have been better.

The book starts with the usual liberal diatribe that the 2000 elections were stolen. What this has to do with the geopolitical situation anywhere in the world but the USA is a mystery that goes unanswered. The second part of the book is more interesting as it details humorous incidents that happen during the author's travels but if I wanted a travel book I would have bought a travel book. Sorry but this one didn't do it for me. Your mileage may vary.
