Reception in Europe is a press nightmare...........The challenges to Bush's agenda come as Americans appear increasingly doubtful that Bush is being well-received on the world stage. A CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll found that 46 percent of respondents said foreign leaders don't have much respect for Bush, compared with 40 percent who said foreign leaders respect him. In February, 38 percent said Bush didn't command respect from world leaders, while 49 percent thought he did. Here in Madrid, hundreds of demonstrators waved banners and shouted slogans this evening outside the U.S. Embassy, where Bush greeted about 800 employees and their families. The demonstrators' causes included the Kyoto accord, the death penalty and trade sanctions against Cuba, but the protesters seemed united in their opposition to what they viewed as Bush's American imperialism. "The Yanqui needs Vietnam medicine," the crowd chanted in Spanish, referring to U.S. humiliation in the Vietnam War. They also shouted "Bush assassin" and "We want to see Bush underneath a missile." Police in Madrid defused two bombs on the eve of Bush's arrival, blaming anarchists or left-wing terrorist groups. Thousands of demonstrators attended a "Contra Bush" rally on Madrid's Gran Via Sunday. About 1,200 Spanish and U.S. security agents are protecting the president.
