On this side of the pond, we are still dealing with a major neo-con mindset, in my area of Ottawa, we chose - though God knows how - to return a rabid neo-con Party after putting up with 4 years of chaos. I guess we will have to learn the hard way. I'm glad to see the changes in Germany and Belgium and hope they continue to spread. Enjoy the hangover, it is a memory of much hard work that led to good results. Respectfully, Thomas Lunde
