"Hara Kiri" would be the correct spelling, if I'm not mistaken.

Hah, excellent news:

Seems like a good deal to me. More Hard Rock, less Grunge, back to his roots (or "comfort zone", for all you nay-sayers out there). Seems to be the popular thing to do these days anyway (just ask Lars & Mr. Hetfield).

You guys should obviously choose your president based on what's best for your nation, but not even the president of the USA can reign in a vacuum. I can guarantee you that the world would be showing a lot more goodwill towards the US if Obama becomes president then what you have now, or will get with McCain.

I know it's not worth much to any of you, but us Europeans are generally puzzled (if not slightly amused) at how McCain or any of the current crop of Republicans could even be considered worthy to lead a country as big and influential as the USA. Notable exception to this might be Ron Paul, because of his non-internvention policies and lack of religious connotations to his political positions.

You are a proud nation, and in many ways rightfully so, but I think it's worth considering the impact your elections has on the rest of the world. Or, even more importantly, the impact the reaction of the rest of the world will have on your nation.

No, but not for this reason. I'll not buy it for the same reason I've not bought Libertad: it's not good enough for me (or my money). Same as most of the music being released today, which nicely correlates with my assumption the the music industry is in trouble because it keeps on releasing (and promoting) easy marketable tripe instead of going for quality music.
