In the Article:

You once said you dont belong to an organized party, you are simply a democrat. Do you support John Kerry?

For that I know too little about him. When I return to the States in a few weeks I will meet with him. I have friends that believe very much in him, that speaks for him. But if I publically endorse someone, it will influence a large number of people. Thats why I must check precicely what I reccomend or for who I am. Here in Europe I find it difficult to stay informed what is happening politically. I watched the Convention in Boson on TV, but from here it the context was missing.

You have spoken publically against George W. Bush: You wont vote for him, you said, because he lied to the world.

I did not say, that he lied to the world. I said George W. Bush lied to me. What this man said 10 months ago is totally different from what he said 10 days ago. I was never in Iraq, I know nobody who has been to Iraq, I have never met an Iraqi, therefor it is difficult for me to decide, if the people in iraq need american support or not. I only know what my elected representatives tell me. And if I can't trust their statements, it becomes impossible for me to be the american that I would like to be. I feel I was lied to by this government, and I am not willing to maintain a relationship to someone who lies to me.

Thanks for the translation. Sounds like he has a rather inflated sense of his influence, but I'm in no position to judge if he actually has any influence.

Is the faz.net website a reliable source?

Wow, he's full of himself, isn't he?
