"But there are less than 100,000 U.S. people in my country"

US people are Americans, correct?

Oh, that. It seems something is in the line between us today :-) Sloppy reading on my part: I was thinking of the crowd in Berlin, and the media-reported number of 100,000, now I see you mentioned the crowd number as "twice as many".

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.

If you have read some recent comments of McCain, he seems to be on the verve of mental illness.

"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.
