2. Pretty much sums it up!
If only the "liberal" media here had the stones to run headlines like that.

10. No, you are not!
Being a German, I can assure you of the heartfelt sympathies for the miserable condition the US have gotten themselves into.

I, for one, have not given up hope for the ideals of America and I know that you will not, too. It would be too un- American a thing to contemplate.

The worst thing during the past months was for the "Old Europe" to have to stand by and watch the entire thing from a distance, not being able to do anything about it.

We in Germany have a long and bitter record of demagogues, and if we have learned anything from it, it is that pride goes before the fall. Let Bush's followers gloat in their alledged success! They will suffer the consequences all too soon.

Hello, enigma-e. Welcome to DU and thank you for your support. Also, thank you for your tribute to our fallen on your website. Sadly, you will have to post more dog tags soon as Fallujah is now being pounded by our forces.

I lived in Germany in 80-81 and have many fond memories. I encourage everyone to visit if they have a chance--the people are great and the food is awesome--you can do some serious eatin' in Germany!

23. Hello bug,...
and thank you for your warm welcome.

I hate it each and every time when I have to add more and more dog tags to the page.

At first, the tags were bigger, but I soon had to reduce them ever more to fit them on a single page. Finally, I gave up. I cannot reduce a man to a 8 * 15 pixels... that would be exactly the kind of disrespect the Shrub regime shows towards human life...

7. Huh!
And on the radio on the way to work, they were saying how the news of *'s election was greeted with happiness around the world. They are really stepping up the propaganda.

20. yes, and since the DOD got their satellite jammer in operation, it will
get even tougher to get real news to the US. We are a nation slipping beneath the Bull Shit Curtian, kept ignorant of global realities just as surly as the Soviet people were in the 50s
