This is a short article which well epitomizes the disagreements between Europeans versus American supporters of Bush.
American / European dialog Here are some of the European points:
What we object to most is the unilateralism and the language of the Bush administration, more so than any particular policy decision. Can't they tone it down?
you need to study our past to learn why we will no longer accept war as a method of adjudicating disputes.
Well, war is simply not an option any longer for us, like it or not. You started this mess in Iraq and now want us to bail you out; so, yes, there is a sort of "I told you so" self-righteousness over here � and why not?
You know that the animus is directed at Bush, not the American people.
...part of the problem is that Americans simply do not know much outside their shores and listen to silly Fox News and Rush Limbaugh for their information.
I'm talking about snap judgment and simple solutions to complex problems.
we would never allow a South Central or Harlem. And certainly we wouldn't unleash someone like this Ashcroft � or wage a preemptive war in Iraq.
the idea that you would spend $87 billion on fighting in Iraq while your own people don't have health care is preposterous.
