US people are Americans, correct? "Pretending that you already know the answer when you don't is not actually very helpful." ~Migeru.
Back to Benhard's post: the key sentence is "Why is this in our interest?", which I see he has re-written into the even more explicit "How is this in our, German, interest?" in the meantime. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
"How is this in our, German, interest?" It is in our interest, that McCain isn't elected president of the US, because of his assumed greater international experience. It is kind of deceiving, to cheer for a lesser evil, but if it is the much lesser evil, I would say it is allowed. In the beginning I wasn't sure how bad McCain would really be, but the longer the campaign, the more I have the impression, McCain could be a desaster, not only for the USA, but for the world.
