German
political parties are not like the political
parties elsewhere in the world. When they
say party, they mean party. A fringe
German anarchist party has outraged national
television audiences with its election
campaign television spot -- a video montage
of booze-fuelled chaos, syringe needles and
men cavorting with topless women. An
estimated one million viewers watched the
German Anarchist Pogo Party's already
heavily censored political broadcast when it
was shown for the first time.

In President George W. Bush's national and
spiritual world-view, America's war against
terrorism and the conflict between
Christianity and Islam are now one and the
same. And the American people - particularly
our children - need to embrace this concept
in a way that's clear and easy to grasp.
Towards that effort, the Bush administration
has created a new animated movie to help
educate the Evangelical Christians on this
complex, global issue. Brought to you by
