here's a report on the storm from Germany- in German. No sympathy for us- we deserve it.
Bundesumweltminister Jürgen Trittin warf den USA vor, zu wenig für den Klimaschutz zu tun. Die Häufung von Naturkatastrophen wie Hurrikan "Katrina" könne man nur mit der von Menschen verursachten Erderwärmung erklären, sagte Trittin im ZDF. Umweltschützer forderten eine Kehrtwende in der amerikanischen Klimapolitik.
Translation:
Federal environmental minister Jurgen Trittin reproached the USA, for having done to little to protect the climate. The frequency of natural catastrophes like Hurricane "Katrina" can only be explaned by man-made caused global warming, Tritten told the ZDF network. Environmental activists demanded a shift in American global politics.

I should have said Barrel, not gallon.
When I watch TV in Europe I don't see Americans being portrayed badly. They only person they dislike is the President. I see more anti European rhetoric by the media in the U.S. then I see anti American in Europe.
On the subject of this wonderful free country. I feel a lot more free in Europe than in the U.S. What freedom do you have in the U.S. that you don't have in Europe? Unless you mean to say that toting a gun is real freedom.
(superiority gene)That sounds very condescendig. In my opinion Americans are the ones that think they are superior. Just turn on the TV or radio and what do you hear? What a great country.. you are lucky to live here..american innovation...we are the most powerful...the best this and that...only in america.
Do you hear rhetoric like this in Europe? Pledge of allegiance every morning in school! OMG They don't have brainwashing session of that sort in ANY European school.
Oh my God! I can't believe this nonsense. Only hours after the storm hit the head of the National Hurricane Center stated on TV that global warming had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with this hurricane. He said we are currently in a high decadal period for hurricanes just like the late 1960s when Camille came through. He explained that it was a confluence of factors with the most important factor being ocean currents directing warm water from the West African coast towards the Carribean.
The lies about this are sickening!
Gotta get back to playing hoops for my homeland.
DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES!!!
