It seems to me that all of you who agree with the letter writing campaign say that people of every country should try to sway the vote of every other country and let sovereignty be damned.
So perhaps next year we in the US should have a letter writing campaign to Britain and tell them that they should keep Tony Blair, he is after all a big supporter of the US. Or perhaps the next time Germany has an election we should write letters to them and tell them to oust Schroeder, any American who heard what he said the last time he was up for reelection would know that if he stays in office it's bad news for the US. It is also clear that the French President Chirac is one of the most anti-US leaders in Europe, so maybe we should write letters to the French during their next election telling them to get rid of him.
I can tell you exactly how all this would be received. The Europeans would see this as rude, obnoxious America meddeling in their internal affairs. But when it's the American election, they're all fine with it because in their eyes we don't know what's best for ourselves and so we must listen to the patronizing Europeans. Such a ridiculous and hypocritical double standard.
