The carnival of US-German relations is changed to March 25. We have received many good submissions. Unfortunately not many of them are written by liberals, which surprises me.

I thought many liberals would care about transatlantic relations and perhaps write that the Bush administration is responsible for weakening the alliance.
Or that conservative politicians, media and bloggers in the US are responsible for the alienation of many formerly pro-American Europeans, who increasingly feel estranged from the US.
Our carnival is about dialogue between Americans and Europeans as well as conservatives and liberals (and anybody else) from both sides. The carnival is a chance for those who care about transatlantic relations to talk to each other, especially if they usually disagree with each other on most issues and read different news sources all the time. While I think it is great that we lefties have Dailykos and Eurotrib, and the conservatives have their blogs and forums, I do think that some reasonable, fact-based dialogue between us is worth a try and might even be helpful once in a while.
Therefore we would appreciate the submission of liberal and progressive diaries for the next carnival. Deadline is March 22nd.
The Atlantic Review has set up this Carnival Submissions Blog with more information, instructions and the submissions we already received.
