This is an excerpt from the long Time article. It is worth reading. I found it shocking that this is printed. What can it mean when this is in the mass media? A former British cabinet minister in the pro-American Conservative Party leaned over toward a Time correspondent at lunch recently to say he considered Bush "terrifying," "ignorant," "a prisoner of the religious right" and "like a child running around with a grenade with the pin pulled out." The compliment is returned; it's no secret across the Atlantic that Bush's people frequently call their allies "Euro-wimps." time.com Rascal@ surprised.com

To many Europeans, this war looks like U.S. imperialism. And hypocrisy: they don't see why diplomacy can deal with North Korea's nuclear-weapons program but not with Iraq's, or why U.N. resolutions should be enforced on Iraq but not on Israel. In Christianity, GWB's chosen religion, Jesus forgave everything except hypocrisy. Given GWB's belief of religion's place in government, it seems appropriate to pray that God may give him the wisdom to deal with the world in a truly Christian manner.
