Today was a very interesting interview on the austrian television about
Bush's speech.
Which was generally seen very positive.
But the point is another one.
One journalist said, that some things he says (or to be more precise
it's often the way he says it) sounds really horrible for european ears.
But he meant that that is only rethorics.
And that he acted very mindful as of now.
He said that these words have been chosen in order to satisfy the extreme
right (yeah ... it looks as if there were some republicans on the right of
bush !)

This sure would not have happened.
This would have meant war :)
But honestly speaking.
There's a limited amount of oil.
American people complain about how expensive gas is .... here in austria
it's at least twice as much !
And IMHO it is not necessary to have engines that use more than 6-8 liter
gas/100 km.
climate issues have to be taken much more seriously.
(not only by america ... but the whole world)
But america causes most of the pollution. (because of its size, and because
it is behind in economic use of ressources)

you are right.
I meant that Bush was elected in a legal way according to american law.
