8. My visits to Europe

in the last three years have been met with anti-americanism because of what bush has done. Thank god no has spit on me like they did to my brother and his girlfriend in france when they asked for directions. I believe it's really important to take a temperature of the worlds view on our elections as it effects them also --indirectly

22. The foreign press isn't saying anything more than what ours is saying.

I hate the US media, too, but honestly, when I read these clips they're exactly what I've been reading and seeing all day in the American media.

Tens of thousands denounce Bush in New York
CTV.ca News Staff

Tens of thousands of demonstrators in New York City marched past the Madison Square Garden, on the eve of the Republican National Convention.

For almost 20 blocks, the demonstrators packed the street, as they slowly filed past the landmark stadium in Manhattan.

"Hope is in the air, help is on the way," civil rights leader Jesse Jackson said through a bullhorn.


Under a bright late summer sunshine and sweltering heat, the protesters carried a variety of signs, many denouncing either U.S. President George W. Bush or the war in Iraq, or both.
