in five years there will be a different president and iraq will likely be pacified that would naturally have impacts on the strength of the resentments that have fixed themselves onto certain individuals in the present situation but beneath the surface smolder the long burning embers of latent anti americanism it has a long tradition and will remain also when president bush is no longer in office and palestine is peaceful lutz erbring
a writer for the german weekly der spiegel told me during the iraq debate not to take offense at the crude anti american covers of the magazine such as the ugly bearded drooling rambo figure it used to show the typical gi in iraq we re just trying to please our million readers he explained jeff gedmin
