Hi Meindert, that isn't news, that has been widely known and accepted since
it was conceived. How is it perplexing to you that a country would support
the enemies of their enemies? I once lived in Germany as an exchange
student, and traveled all over Europe many times since. I have never met a
European so utterly daft about all things political as you. And this from a
supposedly educated engineer, although that could be an improper title for
your education, I'm having doubts now. You're not on a fast track to win
friends and influence Americans, I can assure you. Whether that is a concern
of yours or not, it is my goal to expose idiots wherever they crawl out from
when they insult my country and my government. Especially when spouting off
from a country my Father and Great Grandfather defeated in two world wars. I
will add for the enjoyment of the group (and to stay on topic), that my
Father, having fought across most of France and Germany also, later
commented that after knowing both, he thought we were "fighting the wrong
people".

My political opinion is just different than yours. Why can't you live with
that without starting to call me daft?

What do my engineering skills and education have to do with my political
opinion?

My experience with many happy customers tell me otherwise.

Not that excuse again. Does the fact that the US helped us in the past
automatically mean that we should agree with all decisions made by the US
governement afterwards?

Let's end this pointless discussion Jack. We both have different views and
opinions, let us just respect that fact.

Mud slinging. Favourite hobby of some right wing Americans. They can
have their president now (who is also a big fan of doomsday-scenarios as
portrayed in the bible) and look forward to his brother in 2008. (And
then perhaps his daughter in 2016?)
It's just a shame for the 75% of the US citizens who didn't vote for the
guy.
All the while being completely off-topic, off course.

Today George W. Bush made a very compelling and thoughtful argument
for why he should not be reelected. In his own words, he told the
American people that "...a political candidate who jumps to conclusions
without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your
Commander-in-Chief."

And he got in anyway, with an even bigger majority.

Meindert, we both share interests in marine electronics and engineering,
where I would gladly limit our discussions. And you would be welcome to
visit my home if you ever stop in the Norfolk VA area.

Best regards,
Jack

Its beyond all logical explanation as to why he got re-elected.

Thanks for the invitation Jack. I'll definately keep that in mind whenever
the occasion.
