yeah, i´ve always found this interesting.
it does sound like Colon (or Cole-n)to me.
and its not just the accent difference, since all of our media and politicians say Cole-n as well.

just the way he likes it i guess.

mind you, i´ve heard before that the way that Americans pronounce the names of their perceived enemies is a form of negative propaganda.... such as emphasising the sadDAM for instance...

but thats just a theory i heard in passing at uni the other day.
