Mel, I just checked the list.... are you saying all those people are running right now for the White House? Then why don't we ever hear of them? Is it maybe because for us Europeans it would get too complicated and therefor the media focusses only on the Big Two?
The only time in my life I ever saw a third candidate was when that Ross Perrot joined in, I think he was running against Bill Clinton and Bush sr.
I do remember some other people who fell off during the race, such as Bob Dole. He cracked me up, seemed like he never spoke off himself as ''I''.
And the guy who couldn't spell potato hahahaha, wow he must've been the laughing stock of the country.
Superhawk, I am very ambivalent on the muslem matter.
For instance, the probably soon to be mayor of Rotterdam is a muslem, a good man who holds dear our Western values and is not afraid to speak firmly to his own people, both the Islamists and what we Dutch call ''reljeugd'' (literally: riot youth).

On the one hand we see muslems who have fully adapted to Western society and have succed in life, like this Aboutaleb, and there's many more examples.
However, on the other hand, we see either the extremely fanatical religious idiots who preach against us and stir up hatred among the disenchanted youth. Or we see the socalled riotyouth who rob, beat people up, attack ambulance and firebrigades doing their job, throw rocks at passing cars and busses, and so on and so on.
I have to distinguish, as it is mostly Moroccan youthgangs. The Turks for instance, another large minority, is for the most part fully integrated and succesfull. Why? I don't know, but maybe because their culture is a much secularized one as well. They never riot, neither do other groups such as the Chinese, the Indonesians, the Surinamers, the Koreans.
Off course there are many good people also, and we cherish them. But I for one am totally fed up with the almost explosive situation in different European countries. I fear sometimes for the future.
To me, the American president doesn't have to be a Christian. I don't care if it's a Jew, a Hindu, a Buddhist or a pagan. As long as religion doesn't interfere with politics.
But what would it mean to for example Israel if a muslem became president of the USA?
And no, it's not racist if one wants their Western country to stay that, to not become islamized.
I'd have the same reaction if large groups of evangelicals or catholics wanted to turn everything upside down.
All the best, Pascal.
