Here's an interesting article from Frankfurter Allgemeine (don't worry,
it's in english...my german isn't near good enough to read newspapers
in).
Lights, Camera � Reason
By Frank Schirrmacher
FRANKFURT. President George W. Bush did not say what was in the script.
One could even write that he did not say what Americans until now
believed one should say at such a moment. He has withstood the pressure
of succumbing to the collective consciousness and -- if one interprets
the impressions correctly -- by doing so he has reinvented a piece of
America. His address will do more than bolster international solidarity
with the United States. Despite his allusions to Pearl Harbor and
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Bush's breaking the mold heralds a changed
perception of America's role.

One more thing. I agree with Jeroen that one should usually not simply
copy whole articles. But I think quoting a representative paragraph is
very usefull. I typically don't bother to click links unless I have
some idea what they are about. So a quick introduction is very helpful.
