>My point was this. The Germans have an axe to grind with Bush. After all, if it wasn't for Bush, they would still be recieving billions of dollar of bribe money from Saddam Hussein.

My point was that no matter what your point is, the photo-ops were staged.

>Europeans in general, have an axe to grind with the United States. They love to humiliate the US.

I wonder why would that be.

>Just their name "ProgressiveIndependent" says a lot about how they lean politically.

I also like to hear the other side as well.

>Obviously you have strong leaning towards the left as well. But that's ok, after all this is America. You can be "anything" you want.

One of the major reasons I came here. The primary reason, though, is that my country was so screwed up that I saw no future for my kids there. Here, they have a chance.

As Nikola Pashich, Serbian Prime minister a hundred years ago, once said - "who isn't socialist when young, has no heart; who isn't conservative later, has no brains". I figure I'm somewhere halfway - very conservative about some things (still listening to decades old music, wearing jeans and clogs) and to the left when it comes to social justice.

>I'll just wait until everything settles before commenting on who, what and where. Again, not that you care what I think. :)

>Let just blame Bush no, matter what. It's ok.

Oh, he's not alone.
