Turkish cabdriver decries Bush as we drive to the airport. It's embarassing, somewhat to be an American in this time and place. Clinton he liked, but Bush- he conveyed to me that he was crazy. I didn't disagree.
The Brandenburg Gate has a "Room of Silence," which is quite profound.
These people, despite the hype (see for example a recent article in the International Herald Tribune) know what war is and appreciate peace. This is something the Bush regime has little knowledge.
I read Kevin Phillips' book on the plane. Phillips' style is dry, and its dryness highlights its intensity. Given Enron, arms dealing, and give-aways to the rich (not to mention the abortion that Texas has become under Republicans), I cannot imagine why Kerry is not ahead in the polls. Enron alone should be enough to sink Bush.
