They have been concerned about the motives more then anything.


I think this is an important part of the protests. America has misused it's power in the past so there is no reason why it should be automatically trusted to use it's unchecked power well now. Now, America gets to demonstrate it's trustworthiness - or not. So far, it's been more right than wrong but it's still early.

I think the 'Bush' factor is mostly noise. When I saw the Frontline episode on the history of this conflict and it showed the explosive world reaction to Clinton bombing Baghdad in 1998 it was clear to me that this is an issue of trusting America and American power.

BTW, I didn't know the 'Times' is a Tory paper. Now I do, thanks for the info.
