Extract Perhaps, this will bring a tear to your eye. In contrast to the waves of Booooing that hit Bush today at the Pope's funeral, Bill Clinton was Mobbed and greeted with adoring chants of U.S.A.!, U.S.A.!, U.S.A.! |

Why'd you snip this part of the story? "There was certainly a lot of affection for Mr. Clinton, WHO CONSISTENTLY GOT BETTER PRESS HERE DURING HIS PRESIDENCY THAN MR. BUSH DOES." ------------------------------------------------------------------ It's really no surprise that a socialist would be looked upon more favorably than a capitalist in a socialist country. Journalists always tend to be a little to the left of mainstream. In a country like Italy, where "mainstream" is already shifted to the left, journalists end up being communists (like the one the Marines fragged in Iraq). |

Ask yourself: Why did he get better press? All those liberal media guys having a big conspiracy? Maybe he was a better president. |

So what the **** does this have to do with boats? Trying to ruin the group with OT posting. You crude asshole. And hiding behind a remailer, you have contributed exactly *WHAT*? |

And OT posting accomplishes what asshole? Some people are capable of thinking about multiple subjects at once. I understand your envy. Get over it, though. Your energy would be better spent in other ways. |

It is also interesting (for some) to note that Europeans tend to cheer more
for US presidents who are hesitant to exercise the "big stick" but prefer to use diplomacy (e.g., Clinton, Carter), and understandably, jeer the US presidents who do not hesitate to exercise the "big stick" and use less of diplomacy (e.g., Bush, Bush, Reagan). From a European's (especially the German, French and Russian) point of view, more talk is more favourable for their interests. When the US uses their military might against a real/perceived enemy, that "enemy" is almost always armed/equipped by (guess who?) the Germany, France or Russia. It should be noted that the revenue generated by these European nations' resupply of their client states with war materiel is far FAR outweighed by the fact the resupply indicates destruction of their war equipment by US forces. Thus, if I were a European, I would also cheer Clinton and jeer Bush, i.e., it is as to be expected. Cheers, Franko "NOYB" wrote in message ink.net...

Are you suggesting that lurking behind all the front-page rhetoric, there might be economic reasons for the attitudes of other countries? Money as a motivation? How dare you suggest such a thing. It's heresy. Perhaps you can help me reinterpret the photo op we set up with the Pakistanis a year or so ago, where they wandered the mountains pretending to help us track down Osama bin Laden. Shortly thereafter, it was announced that they would be "allowed" to buy weapons from us. Is it possible the whole thing was insincere right from the get-go? :-) |

Sorry Doug,
I promise I will not do that again... As for Pakistan, let them buy a few twigs from us... "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... "Franko" wrote in message ...
