Win Back Respect

Win Back Respect: "More than 200 Americans studying abroad - including more than 30 Rhodes Scholars - have signed an unprecedented open letter alerting their families, representatives and communities back home to the growing rift that the Bush administration's foreign policies are creating between America and the rest of the world. Learn how the lives of Americans abroad are being affected by the administration's go-it-alone approach."

My daughter is in Germany, and has spent much time in Europe over the last 3 years. Her experience has been the same as the students who wrote the letter linked above. Just today she told me that, out of all the students and other Americans she talks to in Germany, she only knows two who have anything positive to say about Pres. Bush and his administration.

That's obviously VERY different from the percentages here, even of college-type people.

Folks in other parts of the world must be getting very different information than we are.
