From David's Medienkritik, we learn that Germany's largest newspaper has endorsed Bush. A surprising move until you see the reasoning behind it:
I especially liked reasons 5, 7 and 9.
- Bush has clear priorities.
- Bush has learned that military strength is the only answer to fanatics.
- Under Bush, the US will continue to bear the financial, military and casualty burden in the fight against terrorism.
- Bush will do everything he can to prevent nuclear proliferation.
- Bush has learned that America can defeat every country in war, but needs allies in peace. Thus, his second term will be characterized by cooperation with international partners.
- Bush knows Europe is militarily weak, so he won't ask them for help.
- Under Bush, America will remain a strong partner for Israel in its fight for survival.
- Republicans have always been stronger supporters of free trade than Democrats.
- Every new American administration makes mistakes. Bush has already made his.
- With Bush, we know what to expect. With Kerry, we don't.
