International team to monitor November elections

A group calling itself The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe is preparing to monitor the presidential elections this fall. They will be here at the invitation of Secretary of State Colin Powell.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A team of international observers will monitor the presidential election in November, according to the U.S. State Department.

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe was invited to monitor the election by the State Department. The observers will come from the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights.

It will be the first time such a team has been present for a U.S. presidential election.

Excuse me? What business of the Europeans is our election? We are not some third world country. Let them go somewhere like Afghanistan and make themselves busy. They have no authority, just a desire to make themselves look like a legitamte organization.
