The Spaniards believe in " Live and let live". They were totally behind us after 9/11 but failed to see any connection of 9/11 with Iraq. 95% were against the Iraq invasion. When the Madrid bombings occurred, they saw an immediate need to oust the leader that joined Bush without the support of the Spanish citizenry. He would have been ousted even if the Madrid bombings hadn't happened. The gov't response to Katrina was also brought up as a huge disappointment to Europeans. They thought we had the best of the best in technology and resources so it was a huge surprise to see our citizens wallowing in such horrifying conditions within our own borders. We have mush work to do in order to regain the trust and admiration of the world.

Gore is fanning the flames of devotion perfectly, ruling out a presidential run one day, only to leave open the slightest possibility the next, all the while riding the massive wave of publicity stirred by his controversial global warming film. People take Gore and his movie seriously because he’s not running for anything. Meanwhile the populist outcry for the man who won in 2000 to give it another go is approaching a fever pitch. Before you know it Al Gore, the “Comeback Kid” becomes Al Gore, “Back by Popular Demand.” Let’s get real. This is a masterful PR campaign, and if it keeps up Gore will be the candidate to beat in the 08 primary...>>
