Why Europe Ignores Bush
Iraq has telegraphed limits on U.S. power, allowing others to say no to Washington
Machiavelli’s advice to political leaders was that it’s more important to be feared than to be loved. That’s no help for President Bush on his European tour; in spite of the warm words he’s exchanging with European leaders, the reality is that the Bush administration is neither loved nor feared in growing sectors of the international community — increasingly, it is simply being ignored.

**Lost in Europe **

President Bush has reached a dead end in his foreign policy, but he has failed to recognise his quandary. His belief that the polite reception he received in Europe is a vindication of his previous adventures is a vestige of fantasy.

He gives no indication that he grasps the exhaustion of his policy. His reductio ad absurdum was reached with his statement on Iran: “This notion that the US is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous. And having said that, all options are on the table.” Including, presumably, the “simply ridiculous”.

I dunno who Bush is trying to impress, but most can see right through his fake ‘we’re all best friend’ act. :halo:
