I apologise for posting that to the Euphoria list - it would have been more appropriate as a private e-mail. I did not intend it to support Mr. Bush (I am not a fan of his either) If, however, as Ralf wrote, the Dutch really believe that the citizens of the state of Texas (and by extension the US in general) find it "easier to point, shoot and execute (f#$ck Bush, > arggg.just a typical dutch frase " then they are displaying woeful ignorance of this country's judicial process.
