i noticed bbc had the eletion coverage on but american tv doesnt air any other country's election. i understand america is a powerful country but i really didnt think that other countries would be so involved. call me naive but i really didn't know other cultures cared. We don't read up or pay attention when britain is getting someone new.

I think that it depends on which news outlets you are following; National Public Radio and the Leher Hour on PBS always report on the international elections. I remember there being a lot more stuff in mainstream media about last year's French presidential election, Sarkozy vs Royal, but a lot of that was because Royal is a socialist. Other thing, the French elections were held over a weekend, so first thing Monday morning I heard on NPR that Sarkozy was going to succeed Chirac. There was tons of stuff when the Labor Party came into power over in the UK.
But the Russian elections to pick Putin's replacement, the German elections bringing in the first woman Chancellor, the controversial elections in South America and in Africa all get covered on NPR.

I like Canada, but I am going to be happy the next time that I go overseas NOT to feel like I need to keep my mouth shut in public places so that no one notices that I am American. I will never forget getting stuck in that anti-war protest in Picadilly while looking for Marie at the Trocadero. I hid in the middle of everyone, and I did not say a word for about 45 minutes because I was so frightened.

I am also excited about the puppy.

I think that it is okay for them not to have term limits. The people who do a good job balance out those who don't.
