Your way to ask THAT QUESTION was a bit too long, don´t you think? Why didn´t you ask us earlier?

I don´t hate the US President, I do not even dislike him.
In fact, I disagree with a lot of his policies (but I won´t express it in detail with respect to my policy of not interfering in domestic issues of foreign nations).

But I pay respect to men who are direct and honest. I´m sure that Bush says what he thinks and that makes him respectable. Well, and he earned my respect after 9-11, when the war on terrorism begun.

You have to see that the European media presents (and has presented) Bush as a mad cowboy, determined to rule the world and to oppress all countries that do not follow Washingtons orders. They show us Bush like as if he´d be egoistic and selfish, reckless against anybody.

I asked now because I had just been rereading some old posts about the Schroder government in Germany and saw that comparison being made by some German official in almost every one. In retrospect, it appears that Americans have learned the lessons of the 20th century far better than the Europeans have.

Ah, go ahead...I think people here are used to it.

Change Bush to Reagan and you would be describing the Soviet media 20 years ago. Scary thought, isn't it?
