Defying all expectation, a group of Scottish marine biologists capture a live Loch Ness Monster. In an almost unbelievable coincidence, a bear hunter shoots a Sasquatch in the thigh, thereby allowing zoologists to take the furry monster into captivity. These events happen on the same afternoon. That evening, the president announces he may have thyroid cancer and will undergo a biopsy later that week. You are the front-page editor of The New York Times: What do you play as the biggest story?

thats easy, you mix them all together into a conspiracy the likes of which the world has never seen before!

Nope...just choose one.

President, a person losing his leadership of a major country would be more important than anything else. I mean, look at what happened when the Polish President died recently.

Poland is not a major country...no offense.

None taken (I'm not Polish) but it still was a major setback for the international community.

Well to me, Poland is more important than the USA.

To you. Not in reality though. Big nations are ones that have major influence over the world. That's what defines "big nations".

They are typically, USA, England, France, Russia, China (now)

I'm saying coz I'm half-European, and Poland is in Europe, and affects Europe more than USA does.

But there are many European countries. Out of the European countries, there is no doubt that England, France and maybe Germany and Italy are the most influential.

Yeah.. but I'm saying Poland is more interest to Europe than USA.

Europe doesn't care one single inch about USA, but we care about Poland much more, ok?

On the public level...sure. On the official level, I believe the European countries have strong ties with the USA. It's pretty evident from the fact that wherever the USA goes to war, the Europeans are right behind them.

But there is no point in comparing which is more important in Europe anyways, since I was talking about the international level.

Yeah maybe, but I'm talking about the people in general.
Don't care what politicians have to say either.

Ex: German troops in Afghanistan. Most Germans are against it, yet, Germany sent lots of troops there, which angered the German public, but the politicians do what they want and little consideration to public view.

allies often support each other, sometimes it requires such actions, but the death of the polish president would be more important, on a European scale, than the death of an American (Obama excluded because upon his death the entire world will be watching that)
