since Bush took office, he managed to make the whole world more Anti-American than ever before What people may not be realizing is that in the past there was the Soviet threat. So western European countries needed the US. With the downfall of the Soviet Union, there is no real threat to them in Europe. Russia is now really now their ally...and of course the two Germanys got unified. Even the foreign policy of the Europeans may be more in common with the Russians than the Americans at this point. I don't believe the europeans see the US as deserving of being the only superpower. Issues such the treatment of "detainees" or "prisoners or war". They probably see the US as doing whatever it wants without regard for international conventions. The reality is that they see the US as a country with lower moral standards. Bush's new trade barriers has not won him any friends anywhere in the world. He made a calculation that it will help the Republicans this fall...I would call it a miscalculation. All this fuels the anti-American sentiment. The world has changed and it is not just because of 9-11. Does this matter economically....over time it could.
