And what wrong with that, when US politics have such a massive global impact? We can't vote, yet it has a huge impact on us. If some people dont care what anyone else around the world thinks then thats their choice. Bit of a sweeping statement i know, but its always seemed to me that democrat voters might be less insular and care a bit more about global opinion that republican. This impression was reinforced by the fact that people where prepared to vote in Sarah Palin - who clearly is the most internationally ignorant (less than that of most school children) politician at this level i can recall - never even been outside of the US. I'm not saying British foreign policy has exactly been a great success either, mostly because we have been so much in the pocket of the US. So when i congratulated the US for voting in Obama, it was not superficial - i generally do think its great that the US had the guts to try something different. I hope it works out well for you. -- autopilot *Lounge :* Squeezebox Classic -> Cambridge Audio Azur 640a -> Mission 701's. *Bedroom :* Squeezebox Receiver -> Trends TA10.1 Class-T -> Kef Cresta 1's *Office :* Softsqueeze -> Logitech Active 5.1's. *Kitchen :* Squeezebox Boom -coming soon- *Roaming : * Squeezebox Controller -> Logitech mm28 portable speakers / Shure E2c's *Controllers :* Squeezebox Controller x 2 + Logitech Harmony one *Server :* SC7.3b (Vista 64) + AlienBBC, iPlayer & MusicIP headless.
