You missed something:

Defenders suggest that many of the treaties that Bush opposes could never be ratified by the U.S. Senate anyway. Some, in fact, appear deliberately designed to tweak or embarrass the United States, administration allies suggest.

Furthermore, many European countries, including France and Germany, have left-of-center governments at odds with Bush's conservatism.

British Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown advises against reading too much into frayed relations. The disputes, he says, should not "obscure the scale of two-way trade and investment across the Atlantic that amounts to more than $2 billion every day."
