Bonne chance = Viel Glück = Yes!
It's good to see U.S. relations with France and Germany improving so much recently. Refreshingly, Angela Merkel and Nicholas Sarkozy seem to enjoy and respect GWB. Sarkozy's speech to Congress on Wednesday was downright positive and warm, renewing "the renew the pact of friendship" between France and America, as were Bush's words to him at the White House reception and dinner. Things ebb and flow in many aspects of life and foreign relations seems to be one of them. There was Blair in Britain and now there is Brown whose less telegenic self is less friendly to the U.S. though not as hostile as some suggest. There was Chirac in France and now there is Sarkozy whose slightly less smooth self is far friendlier to the U.S. There were two German chancellors and now there is Merkel whose natural, relaxed and self-assured self is far friendlier to the U.S. It's all a bit Mark Twain, isn't it? His weather prediction for New England was, if you don't like the weather just wait a few minutes and it'll be something else.

Just another thing to show up the stupidity of the left's, 'Bush has alienated our allies' thing. As if Chiraq and Schroeder were ever other than idiots themselves.
So, with that, the war being won, the Dhimmis in Congress making a real dog's breakfast of it, Hillary beginning to be shown for what she is, you could almost feel a bit sorry for them.

PS. How did you get the Umlaut?

Umlaut : just surround a letter with "&" on one side and "uml;" on the other(e.g., ä, ö). Sure wish there were easier ways.

I will never ever feel sorry for Billary - they are much too calculating and determined and manipulative and . . . well, you know!
