it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
I'm sure Bush already knows that the vast majority of people across the world are against his actions and he hasn't changed anything yet. Why would he change just because he reads it in print?

I think on balance the negatives of taking such a space in a foreign newspaper probably outweigh the benefits.
The criticisms quoted above are fairly predictable and if the piece had been in praise of George Bush these individuals would have said nothing but Democrats would have written with almost identical words.
By and large countries have no business trying to sway elections in foreign lands. The temptation would, however, appear irresistible. I think it was Kissenger who said "I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go Communist because of the irresponsibility of its own people." A severe case of democracy is only any good as long as you vote for who we want.
On the plus side, the Norwegians will not fund a coup if the US does vote for GW. Or will they?
