Gus > President Bush has reached a dead end in his foreign policy, but he has failed to recognise his quandary. His belief that the polite reception he received in Europe is a vindication of his previous adventures is a vestige of fantasy.

I agree, but I don't believe he has failed to recognise his quandary. IMO, he sees his problem only too clearly, as we do -- that his bark is bigger than his bite -- that in Iraq, he is facing another Vietnam, not another Normandy -- and that his Zionist foreign policy advisers are driving the US into adventures which can and will lead to the downfall of America as a world power, let alone a superpower. Indeed, I would say the reason he is in Europe at all is because he wants to try and save face with former NATO allies after the F-up he has made in Iraq. And he also knows only too well that US foreign policy has catalysed a European union with Russia and China in a formidable bloc against future US military advances.
