 www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_27-10-2004_pg9_11 Austria scraps Arnie statue Plans to build an 80ft statue of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator character in his Austrian home town have been scrapped because he’s backing President Bush. The steel abstract design was unveiled in a blaze of publicity last year with public and private backers putting up the money for the £3.5 million project. But the southern city of Graz is angry that its most famous son is backing Bush in the upcoming US election campaign and supported the war in Iraq. Project manager Herwig Hoeller said: “Yes, the project has been shelved because it no longer has the backing among the population that it had at the start when he was elected. “I think I must be the only one in this town that still wants the project to go ahead.” There are also calls to rename the Arnold Schwarzenegger football stadium and Graz Deputy Mayor Walter Ferk said the city was also considering taking back an honorary award of a ring to the governor. The statue was set to tower over other more traditional statues of lesser recognised individuals such as composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - or the Austrian Emperor Kaiser Franz Joseph. |

I am glad to see the almost Germans have thier priorities in order, first they are goofy enough to want an 80ft statue of the terminator, now they don't want the statue because he supports the president of his country? Forget the cultural revolution that is going on in thier own country spearheaded by foreign supporters of terrorism, what they need to worry about is if an actor turned politicain who left thier country and renounced his citizenship, supports the president of his adopted country. With a population this bright they should have all aspects of terrorism eliminated from western Europe sometime after the next Mellinium.

Austria had a higher percent of SS members and Nazi Party members than Germany. They were also the only nation to elect an SS officer in the post-war period.
