Every Thursday the weekly newspaper Die Zeit is published. Last week its front page showed the face of the Statue of Liberty with a red sunset in the background and the headline ran Gebt uns das gute Amerika zurueck -- Give us back the good America. There is life after George W. Bush and the mid-term elections might signal a new beginning.
Yesterday the signal was overwhelmingly clear. It was Day One for setting the country back on track in what is surely going to be a long haul.
A sinking Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld appeared on page three of Die Zeit at
