Elections

My driver this morning asked me in Tajik about the US elections. Considering how far away I feel from the US and from the West, this question surprised me. Okay maybe Spaniards, the French, or even Georgians are writing op-eds and thinking about these elections closely, but my Tajik driver?
The world really feels like it should have a vote in the American elections.

He said he likes Obama because he is young. Considering how racist this part of the world can be, I was surprised.
