Bush in Europe: Berlin Wall

Filed under: Bush Administration | Europe — by Bob Zuber @ 7:56 am

The Guardian’s Kate Connolly explains why Berliners are so happy to ’see the back’ of the US president: “German gratitude for the role the US has played in much of its 20th century history – the Marshall Plan, the Berlin airlift, protection against the Soviet Union – still endures, but it has been greatly overshadowed by seven Bush years, the Iraq invasion, Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib.”

Words for Acts

An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
