I can see how I might have read it wrong, though.
An added perspective... I'm studying in Mannheim, Germany for a semester right now, and I'm very pleased with how Germans here treat me. I was a little afraid of perhaps some anti-American prejudice, but I've quickly learned that people have nothing against the US or its citizens as a whole, they simply don't like Bush. And they are able to keep that distinction very clear, either intentionally or just by their nature. At least, that's the impression I've gotten from people here in Mannheim.

This is what I suspected about the anti-american shadow that we hear so much about, I think that it is more anti-Bush than anything else, and will either warm-over towards Bush, or more likely blow over eventually with a change in presidency in '04 at least '08. Personally I am relatively pro-Bush, but I haven't made up my vote this early. There is much I disapprove of in his actions, and much I approve of in his "ideals".
Enjoy Germany, never been there, but would love to go!
