If you will read the speech, you will see that the President actually stuck it to the Europeans by reminding them that two generations of young men left their bodies in Europe, that they also had tolerated Adolf Hitler for 12 years, and that they need to step up to the plate and participate rather than carping on the sidelines.

This is quite a speech, if you will but read it.

In addition, for those who don't like immigration, if you can get some of the third world up and running (as we did with Japan and Germany after WWII) we won't have too many of those people wanting to come here. You don't see too many Japanese illegals, do you? Or Germans, for that matter. It is in our own interest to do this, as well as being compassionate. Sometimes the two are not mutually exclusive, you know.

Well, I must go to the grocery. Please read the speech...especially the quote by Dietrich Bonhoffer, who died in a concentration camp. Pretty gutsy of the President to quote that man to the Germans, and somehow get a standing ovation at the end.

The trouble with you guys is that you are so used to everyone being a crook and a charlatan, you miss the opportunity to appreciate a decent honest person when we finally get one. I don't intend to desert President Bush over a policy difference, because I don't expect him to support everything that I do. In addition, although I may differ with him in methods, his goals are ones I share.

Glad I could brighten your day, AAA! Have a good one!
