I'm gonna stay off the politics except to say that I agree with you about the war, but want to say this: <br /> <br />I was in Germany in the late 1980s and the Bundesbahn is the greatest thing going. I wish we could have passenger rail service like that in the U.S. Amtrak just doesn't cut it, it doesn't even serve a lot of major cities (like Las Vegas) and except on the east coast isn't practical for commuting if you need to be there on time. In Germany in just about every town you are within walking distance of a Bahnhof and can take the train anywhere in the country you want to go. I envy you living there for that reason.:) <br /> <br />We in the U.S. need to get serious about passenger rail service, and the German Bundesbahn would be a good model to follow.
