Regardless of how much you dislike Bush you shouldn't want that for any American President as it reflects poorly on all of us. We never want any sitting President of either part to be treated with a lack of respect overseas even if we think he's not best for out country. They can dislike the man but the actions show a lack of respect for both he and our country and culture. JMO

"How easy you forget." You are confused, as usual, sillyvestor. Bush never "called Europe, Old Europe" or "called names against the French and Germans." But feel free to spend your Sunday afternoon and evening trying to prove me wrong. BTW, "called names against" and "throw to his face" are rather unusual constructions. Just out of curiosity, what is your native language? French?

Hewitt Holds Out Roddick in Three-Set Thriller pacificlifeopen.com Lleyton Hewitt survived 25 aces to defeat Andy Roddick 7-6(3), 6-7(2), 7-6(4) and set up a blockbuster showdown with defending champion Roger Federer in Sunday's Pacific Life Open final in Indian Wells. Hewitt and Roddick traded breaks in the second set. They were the only breaks in the match as Hewitt saved eight of nine break points and Roddick saved six of seven. Hewitt, champion in the desert in 2003 and 2004, improved to 6-1 lifetime against Roddick. Hewitt said: “Any time you play a third-set tie-breaker, it's a lucky door prize a little bit. You have to go out there, try to get off to a pretty good start. We were both able to do that. I just felt like I dictated play, you know, when I needed to; I hustled when I needed to; I got those extra balls back when I needed to. You know, under the circumstances I played a pretty good tie-break, I think. “The match as it was, he served extremely well. Had a lot of opportunities to break out there tonight. I think the first four or five early in the third set, he hit aces on every one of them. He really didn't give me too many opportunities on second serves. I don't know what the stats were, but I felt like on most of his second serves, I was, you know, winning the majority of the points out there tonight. I was waiting for my opportunities on the big points, and to his credit he came up with some big serves.” Roddick said: “I was playing patterns a lot better. You know, I stuck in points a little longer. I thought I was coming to the net. With the exception of the first set, I was very successful doing that. But I kept to it and I tried to really stick to it. I mixed up my serve a little bit better, not just going for the huge one every time.” “I can take a lot of positives out of this. Obviously, it's a loss and it's terrible, but I feel a lot better about this one than I do some others because I feel like I actually played pretty well.”
