Oh dear, seems being cretinously ignorant about the rest of the world is still no weakness in the Republican party:
"The American right sure seems to like stories about foreign countries
killing their citizens. Most recently, leading GOP candidate Rick
Santorum claimed that 10 per cent of the Netherlands' deaths were from
euthanasia, 5 percent forced, and that "elderly people in the
Netherlands don't go to the hospital" or, if they do, wear bracelets
saying "do not euthanize me," all of which is false."

And this is from a man campaigning to lead the world's main superpower. Sometimes one reads a piece of information that really scares you about a candidate, and this reminds me of following titbit I encountered recently about Sarah Palin: "Schmidt [Mcain's campaign strategist] said he asked Palin about her serenity in the face of becoming "one of the most famous people in the world." He quoted her as saying, "It's God's plan."
Scary deja vu? You betcha...
