I google translated it so the English may not be perfect but you'll get the gist. This is the biggest newspaper in Germany.
In six days, on 2 November, America has the choice: George W. Bush or John Kerry? Here picture author Hugo Mueller Vogg calls its ten reasons, why it would be better for Germany, the world and America, if George W. Bush president remains. 1. Bushs priorities are clear. He sees the contempting for human beings Islamic fundamentalism, the mordwuetigen Mullahs as the largest danger for the western world.
2. Bush learned the lessons of history. Against ready for violence Fanatiker no good words help, there help only military strength. There does it give with it? differently than with Kerry? no Wackeln.
3. Under Bush the USA become as a superpower further the main load in the?Heiligen war explained on one side of the Islamic Fanatikern? carry? militarily, financially and also with the blood tariff.
4. Apart from the fight against the terror and the terrorists a red-elect Bush will do everything, in order to let no new atomic powers develop. That applies in particular with view of the nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea.
5. Bush learned the fact that America militarily defeat each country but not in the single-handed attempt befrieden can. Therefore it in a second term of office strengthened on international cooperation to set.
But it will not make itself dependent on how Syria or Libya in the UN co-ordinates.
6. Bush knows that Europe and Germany do not have the military capacities at all, in order to engage itself beyond its past international missions considerably. Therefore it will not also call this contribution in. Kerry however would do exactly that? and the German-American relations damaged anyway continue to load.
7. Under Bush America will remain a reliable partner of Israel with its survival fight. Because of it must be straight us to Germans very much.
8. The republicans were proponents of a free world trade than the democrats, ever more decided. That applies also to Bush compared with Kerry. And that is good for the export nation Germany.
9. Each new American government makes errors; Bush already made its. Kerry however did not dress ever a government office. It would be as badly prepared as few presidents before him.
10. With Bush we know, what we have to expect. With John Kerry knows against it nobody, for what it stands and where it America? and the world? to lead wants.
By the way: There was already once a US president, whom most Germans regarded as to tumben gates.
Its name: Ronald Reagan.
We owe the end of the cold war and the reunification to it. Well possible that we will be grateful a daily also to George W. Bush.

In six days, on 2 Nov, America will have the choice: George W. Bush or John Kerry. Here “Bild” writer Hugo Müller-Vogg gives his ten reason why it would be better for Germany, the world, and America if George W. Bush stayed.
1. Bush’s priorities are evident. He sees the mankind-threatening islamic fundamentalism, the homicidally furious mullahs as the greatest threat to the western world.
2. Bush has learned the lessons of history. Against fanatics prpared for violence kind words never help; only military strength helps. For him, unlike for Kerry, there is no wavering.
3. Under Bush the USA will continue as a superpower to bear the chief burden - militarily, financially, and also in a toll of blood - of the “holy war” instigated unilaterally by islamic fanatics.
4. In addition to the war against terror and terrorists, a reelected Bush will do everything to prevent the emergence of any new atomic powers. That pertains especially to the nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea.
5. Bush has learned that the United States can defeat any country, but can not alone pacify. For this reason he will be strengthened in a second term in international cooperation. However, he will not be independent thereby, because Syria and Libya still have influence in the UN.
6. Bush knows that Germany and Europe are entirely incapable militarily of carrying out any foreign assignments worth mentioning. Therefore he will not demand a contribution. Kerry, however, will do exactly that, and will thus further damage the already weakened German-American relationship.
7. Under Bush America will continue to be an indispensable partner of Israel in it struggle for survival. About that must we German be very forthright.
8. The Republicans has always been more outspoken in favor of free trade than the Democrats. That also is true of Bush in comparison with Kerry. And that is favorable for Germany as an exporting nation.
9. Every new American administration makes mistake. Bush has made his already. Kerry has never held an official administrative office. He is as poorly prepared as but few American Presidents before him.
10. With Bush, we know what to expect. With John Kerry, on the contrary, no one knows what he stands for, and where he will lead America - and the world.
In summary: There was once before an American President that most Germans thought was a stupid idiot. His name: Ronald Reagan. Him we thank for the end of the Cold War and for reunification. It is very possible that some day we will likewise be thankful for George W. Bush.
great
hipaatwo, thanks for post
docbnj, thanks for better translation.
#9 is a particularly good reason.
That's great. You see, there is a glimmer of hope in Europe.
At least some Europeans have it right.
Bild Zeitung wrote this?? I'm fainting! Wonders never cease!
There's going to be a lot more groveling needed if the Germans want to get off of the USA's ingrate nations list. And they are going to have to put some blood into this fight we are having with these Islamic morons. Until then, its all just talk.

With that I cannot argue with!

You're right, a glimmer, but it's there.
