#1 I'm so happy to see the European press react with dignity, class and restraint.

#2 "Es ist die Moral, Dummkopf!" (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)

#3 Someone once wrote a book about Napoleon, which had a series of Parisian newspaper headlines from the time of his escape from the island of Elba. At first they were screaming banners "Mad Tyrant Escapes!"; then after he landed in France, they became neutral, "Bonaparte Lands in France"; and as he approached Paris, they fell all over themselves in welcoming him back. "The Proud Liberator Returns To Joyous Throngs". Hypocrites then, hypocrites now.

#4 "Parts of the U.S. elite ...."

There is the main disconnect. What Europe considers to be the "elite" (along with themselves) are just marginal hangers-on.

#5 At the Inauguration Bush should have the Marine Corps Band play Onward, Christian Soldiers with vocal by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir followed by a NASCAR drive-by.

#7 They haven't figured it out yet, but the "US elite" no longer includes the networks' talking heads and the NYTimes' reporters and editorialists. Thirty years ago, a reporter or news producer or correspondent for the NYT or CBS etc was a national cultural figure with real influence. Today, they're just guys who write stuff and talk into the monitor.

#9 My gut reaction is to tell these people to FOAD but now I see it as a propaganda war on me the US citizen and my counrty. Perhaps that is simple minded thinking. But it is a lie when they say I don't hate the US I hate Bush just as it is a lie to say I don't hate jews I hate zionism.
