Dear all, the actual political situation is very sad. Nevertheless, the following short story might be amusing. Best regards Otto ---------------------------------------- A US citizen is discussing with a European citizen about politics (the reluctance of some Europeans countries to join the US with respect to a war against Iraq etc.). The US man: "Oh you crazy Europeans are just not grateful to us. Remember that if we wouldn't have come to Europe at the end of WWII then you would be nothing but a poor colony under the dictatorship of Soviet union". And the European replied: "And if we wouldn't have come to America then you would still be ... Red Indians".
