Presidential Debate

Well, if we are all coming clean then...  Who sold Iraq the chemicals and supplied him with much of his nuclear and missile capabilities?  There is enough mud for all of us.

Oh, certainly. I wouldn't dream of claiming that German corporate greed, unscrupulous behaviour, or downright criminal intent is any less severe than American... or French, or British or ANY for that matter B)

And I won't claim that In Germany the large corporations have gained that much less influence in politics lately. or that German politicians have become less corrupt and powerless or less corporate-controlled puppets than elsewhere (though Captain Haliburton still tops THAT department I guess ;) ). Actually, I'm active against these developments here, and there'll be a new party founded in November to fight it... ;)

It's true, there's really very little moral high ground to claim. The only small sheet of paper we could probably step on remains the fact, that WE did not invade a foreign country (at least lately :P ) to find WMDs that we sold them in the first place...

But the fact that other governments are almost as bad, corrupt, criminal or lying should not be the reason to let Bush and his puppeteers in office <_<
