By M. Taufiqurrahman, an Indonesian grad student who lives in Illinois but writes for his home country's paper --
'In his ode to America, America Is Not the World, British pop singer Morrissey forlornly sung that the U.S. is indeed the land of the free, yet it never has had a president who is female, black or gay. The upcoming presidential election, however, will likely address that lack.
Even if Barack Obama, the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party, loses to John McCain in the November election --and the smart money is against that happening -- what has transpired this primary election season has shown how much America has changed.'
