really. Is that why Japan is one of our biggest trading partners? Why England is one of our closest allies? Why a German company was allowed to obtain controlling interest in one of the largest US auto makers?

Sounds to me like someone has an axe to grind, and chooses facts to fit the premise.

every country I've been to has nice people. I'd say that as far as I've seen, people are pretty similar everywhere. There are extremists with loud mouths in every community that unfairly color their compatriots.

Really interesting read and it's hard to believe that the same photographer took both pictures.
Thanks! I wonder why Nick Ut was covering the Paris circus.
