Few Germans Fond of Bush, but Some of the Walls Have Come Down
Few Germans Fond of Bush, but Some of the Walls Have Come Down
This made me laugh. My favorite section from this article is "Bush's visit Wednesday to the city of Mainz in southern Germany provoked a range of emotions across the country. But the one most evident was a sense of resignation. Germans turned out by the hundreds of thousands to protest the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. They stewed in anger as the war was fought and were bewildered at Bush's reelection in November.
Now, they say, bitterness must give way to pragmatism, much as one navigates around an overbearing in-law."
Hmmm...I wonder if they realize that many Americans feel the exact same thing?? Bewilderment, resignation...but I really like the overbearing in-law description. ;)

The day before, I got a kick out of our well spoken president saying, "This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply
ridiculous. Having said that, all options are on the table." Another thing to add to the list of things that make you say huh? Add my name to the list of the bewildered. He isn't my president.
