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.

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
