A picture alone is not sufficient to alert the good Burghers here that Blair is an affirmative action baby. Most Germans are unaware of the debate in America or even of the existence of the practice.

I think they will take from the article only a gerenal impression of American incompetence and breakdown of oversight which will fit right in with the party line the media servews up about the states and especially Bush.
