we fail a bit to understand why half of america sees this guy as a good president.
a nice article about the difference between europe and the usa is here

So, Germany is just anti-Bush. I think that's a convenient explanation, but I believe it goes deeper than that and it involves a resentment of American power and influence. Still, if it is only Bush you all are anti and, although not quite Hitler, his decisions seem like a step in the direction Germany tried some time ago (you mean as Nazi's right?) and you cannot see why over half of the country sees this guy as a good president, why don't we just be friends and see other people. Why do you want a military alliance with us? We'll do some trade and see each other around a little bit, but not every night. What do you think?
