guess what? American soldiers are still stationed in Germany, and stayed long enough to see that country reunified. And the contribution of Germany to the reconstruction of Iraq? Zero.

What else is there to say?

Home run by Sullivan! Thanks for finding it!

"This piece pretty much says it all. It should be required reading in every school and college campus in this country."

I will make copies; small print. . . keep them handy and share when 'opportune' or just drop them along 'my way'. . .on a car with a 'Dean' sticker. . .on a library table; Starbucks; Borders. . .B & N. . .

Cannot hurt; might help.

Interesting read.

Here's my favorite quote:

"If France's third quarter growth rate was 7.2 percent, it might make more sense. But, no. It's the country run by a moron, devastated two years ago by the worst act of war on its soil in history, and governed by know-nothing policies, that is doing so well. So, er ... let's make fun of the damage Bush does to the English language and compare him to Hitler. That will make us feel better."

"We should make them pay for this."

We would if we actually imported anything from Britain. (Other than Stilton Cheese anyway....)

Bookmarked, and a BTT for a very powerful article. My admiration for Sullivan has just kicked up a notch. Brilliant piece.
