And I might add that the we (the masses) get our information about those =
in
other countries from the major news networks - the only electronic source
that I find to be able to give me good background that will lead to

Bob Bestor has a point, and a damn good one.=0D

As a resident in CH and a traveler to Germany, France, and Austria, I=0D

or locals.=0D

Like Bob, over the last two years, I have heard nothing from the locals=0D
about US politics, elections, etc., except from Americans. On the other=0D
hand, I have purposefully brought this topic up several times to=0D
friends (non-USA). They listen. Sometimes, they agree or defer to my=0D
judgment. After all, most only know what is in the IHT or CNN.=0D
 =0D
Bob's chronology of events in Europe over several decades probably=0D
ought to be made plain to most Americans. Most are too young to=0D
remember.=0D
 =0D
Least of all, the ones who are so pragmatic as those Orientals, need=0D
our attention. "orientals" may not be PC. If I were a politician, I=0D
MIGHT give a hoot about PC, but I am proud to say that I am of the=0D
