Ted Re..What part of "Germany and France are two of our biggest trading partners and a slowdown in our economy means a slowdown in theirs'" do you not get.. Well, I didn't get one word of it, because you didn't say it. The EU is Europes answer to compete against America. The fact is that Europe is trying to slow down America both militaristicly and economically, so Europe can compete, without changing their liberal agendas. What makes you think that a liberal agenda can't keep up with a conservative agenda? Looks to me like Germany and France are running circles around ole bushy tail. However, even if America votes dem. in the next election, and reinstitutes liberal policies; that will hardly do europe any good economically, because their real competition is the new emerging economies of the pacific rim and china, and India. The liberals in Europe hope to save their jobs by blaming America for their problems, when they should be looking at America for ideas how to compete with the emerging economic powers. For them to say the US is a bully,and GW is causing greenhouse gasses, and Rumsfeld is a boor, and its companies are stealing their jobs etc. won't help them against the competition. During the 90s, when the US was booming and Europe was doing just okay, I don't remember them blaming the US for their problems. In fact, I don't hear them blaming the US right now. What I do hear is that they don't like the policies of Mr. Bush. ted
