What issue will hurt G. Bush the most?

[??????????]

I think Diplomacy will hurt him a bit. Even though it shouldn't matter.

When you lead the world's only superpower, spearhead the war on terrorism, stand for Western values and democracy, violate international law, snub international officials and collapse alliances centuries old... I think diplomacy matters.

Century old alliances? With who? The British hated us up until the 1860s at LEAST and the French wanted to take us over. The U.S. has had no firm alliance with any nation for more then 80 years.

I think in many ways Europeans are still jealous of the U.S. and some probably still think "If we had only taken over that darned U.S. before they got so big." I really believe the politicians in countries such as England, France and Spain believe this. I bet the Queen of England feels that way.

Maybe not so much England anymore, but I'm sure the Queen or her father or mother had wished they would have been able to regain the American Colonies. The whole point at supporting the south during the Civil War was to keep the nation split for a reinvasion and to take back their colonies.

I always hated that statement "It's the economy, STUPID". Like saying vote for me, I'll change the economy which is doing bad you dummy. Just like Kerry and his attitude of demeaning regular citizens.

I think the Europeans are scared of us in some ways. I believe Europe still has a lot of insecurity for whatever reason. I guess because we are the strongest superpower and they are afraid of losing their culture to American culture.

The Majority of Americans, don't want to hate Europe or take over Europe or anything like that. I think many Americans don't understand why certain European nations are resentful of us.

I have no problem with Europeans. Their leaders are another story. I know many good Europeans and have quite a few friends in Europe. My family still has political pull big time in Northern Italy/Austria! My uncle went there for a reunion and when he told the hotel his last name, he got a great discount and one of the best rooms in Bozen.

Gustaf can you turn on your IM?

The Europeans throughout their history have always been on the edge of conflict. Whether it be France vs Britian, Spain vs Europe, Germany vs Western Europe, etc. Now that they all seem to be unified and I doubt Europeans will ever war each other again they don't know what to do.

Yeah, I don't know why the U.S. still has troops there. I can understand Ramstien, as it's a stopping point for U.S. Soldiers on the way home.
