Beat me to it!
France and Germany are now running two consecutive quarters of shrinkage/slowing. One more quarter ought to do it. They'll be missing Saddam's cash payments come springtime.

Is this one troll posting under a lot of names or a lot of European trolls?

I ask because it is amazing how many of them wind up on just the Der Spiegel threads for this current article.

Shouldn't they be posting on the months old threads linked by Der Spiegel or making a nuisance of themselves on other current threads too?

"Not a big surprise, as the experience with americans is that a lot of you dont know much about the rest of the world."

Actually, you're wrong. Take me for example. I have never left the continental United States. But I probably know more about the world than you do. You know why? Because every nationality represented in the global community lives here in America.

I know, because the bulk of my business clientele are mostly immigrants. From every corner of the globe. I have spent much, much time talking with all of them and their experiences in their countries of origin. Europeans, Arabs, Asians, Asian Indians, South Americans—I've met them all and heard it all.

Then, when I get back in my vehicle to leave, I bow my head and say:

Thank God I'm American!

And thank God Bush is President and finally standing on behalf of American interests, instead of selling out to the mediocrity of a bitter and envious world like Clinton did!

Wimp. Wait until you've read your FReepmail, you won't sleep for days...

Hey, Pudding Bear do you want to go FReep a pole with us???

Hi, maybe you should read the original article in original language, instead of joking about the result of bad translation programmes. Why not being ashamed of your own poor language skills?

Lighten up, dude. And judging by your response, I wouldn't be too quick to cast aspersions on the language skills of others if I were you.

"While the USA have a long experience in democracy, many europeans, especially in Germany, know how exactly how democracies die and fascism starts. "

As you show, there's no denying that a peasant's fearful attitude is deeply ingrained in the European soul. For the likes of you socialist control is as large a step up from feudalism as you are able to take. Perhaps your great grandchildren will not be so afraid to increas their freedom- but perhaps you prefer they should be as fearful as you.

It won't surprise me if the tribalism of the Arab world creates a freer people than feudalism has in Europe. Tribalism inherently has more appreciation for individuals.

And as America has shown, a free people are the strongest and happiest.

Which number is good? 1 or 6?

[DallasMike]

BE sure - george w. bush and his bandits are on the best way destroing your democracy.

If Bush is so hell-bent on destroying democracy then why did he just bring democracy to 2 countries that have never had it before -- Afghanistan and Iraq? Looks like he's spreading democracy to me.

Further, if you're so bright, then why don't you know about the secret agreements that Germany and France had with Saddam for oil? That's the real reason your country opposed the war.

You're trying to fight an intellectual battle unarmed.

Farverghnugen (schpelling?)! Isst das frommen der Washingtonposte? You only haff excerpten!

OK. That was brutal to read.

The widow Vivian Freep from Midland (Texas) is "George Bush's biggest more supporter".

How did they know Vivian Freep is a widow??? Is there a Vivian Freep?? =o)

[potlatch]

Principal item of the offer is the panel, in which it goes partly violently to the thing.

Say what? I think I need a nap!

[xzins]

And I'll bet you're gonna tell me we're all responsible for our own translation.... :>)
