See, the world cant live without us, Bush hasnt pushed foreign nations away for good like some of you thought...</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>I hope you're being sarcastic. All this means is that Germany realized that they need to make an effort to cooperate or else a bad situation will just keep getting worse.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Flip's our resident optimistic Republican. :) I'd love to hear his reason for voting for Bush, cause I'm a bit dumbfounded. I just wanna know man!</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Optimistic is not a strong enough word for it, but I'm at a loss to what to call it.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Oh, BTW, thank you for throwing away the last chance you had to save the world. You will enjoy your decision later on when the crash happens.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>It isnt the end of existance, Sine. It is just the same president for 4 measly years, stop being so dramatic.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>Kerry flip-flops *grin*</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>It's a matter of simple economics. No country is going to push away the world's largest economy and trading partner because of personal dislike for Bush. Can you imagine the U.N. going toe-to-toe with the U.S.? They'd get creamed, economically and militarily.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Exactly.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>It's scary when you look at how much he fucked up and made things so shitty, then look ahead and know that he's in his last term and Cheney isn't gonna run, so he's REALLY gonna do whatever he wants, especially since he got away with murder (many of them) the first time (Patriot Act 2, anyone?)</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>We don't have that much time left. Four years is a long time. In all likelihood, the oil crash will happen within his term.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>...? Post WW2 Germany is one of the most liberal countries in the world. You're falling into the typical 'all Germans are Nazi's' trap.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>It doesn't matter if Germany is liberal now, they (the people of Germany) are known as the most warlike people throughout the history of mankind; almost since the time when they were first discovered by the Romans, which happened to be as an invasion force about 2200 years ago (though there are ruins in Sweden which date back to over over 6,000 years ago; but the first Germanic tribes in Europe didn't migrate out of Scandinavia until about 2-400 years BC.). Every part of Europe has been under Germanic control at one time or another.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>not a very good one, but i'm glad you got a laugh out of it for yourself.</div>
