That's an _interesting_ way to do it. Actually he did something *unpopular* ( supporting the Iraq war ) and his majority in Parliament was slashed ! Seems that one went over your head or wasn't reported in the US. Kinda proves my point actually ! > > Do your networks even pay lip service to 'foreign affairs ? ) and we're fed > > up with it ! > > Who is this "we" which you are speaking for? > > > Don't expect the UK to be your poodle in any more military adventurism ! > > What does this have to do with cars? You seem to be obsessed about this. It's about the US view of the world and how they treat their operations abroad - if you hadn't figured that out ! I bet GM *hate* the fact that they have to pay Swedish wages to get Saabs and are acting accordingly ! They may not have yet figured that it's Swedes that make the brand interesting ! Just don't expect Saabs to have the same DNA / blood line in future though. It'll just become another boring corporate branding exercise. I'm going to stick with a 9000 for now. Graham
