>>>One interesting aspect of this is that it has caused some rethinking in Europe. Even some of our closest allies -- England, France, Germany -- have often looked down on us for our racial history. Yet now we have a black President and none of them are thought to be close to that happening.

>A capital idea!

We already share your president. He will order our ministers after our ministers wil do his orders... ;)
