Interesting article. thanks for the link, taravb.

Far be it from me to criticize anyone for trying to speak a foreign language. We have all been there. I really stuck my foot in my mouth a few times during those first days of French and Spanish, and certainly will in German, I am sure... It would certainly be painful to have those blunders publicized to the entire world. ouch.

I will be interesting to see how Europeans come to view Bush with time, interesting to see how the rest of the U.S. residents will come to view him as well. It will take a lot of evidence though for me to be able to view him as someone deeply compassionate and gifted with a powerful intellect.

Once again, my humble opinion.
