Unfortunately this pattern of complaining about the previous elections
seems a time worn practice. Oh, complaining about imperialist
interference
also. Anything to avoid the simple things like putting oil and gravel
on the
highway. 

It is so much more satisfying to complain that the foriegners won't
finance a new highway to replace the one which hasnt been maintained
for 60 years.
