That's right, NYT - it's not about the security of the world, the billions upon billions of dollars in European oil contracts, the Arab minorities that the governments have to pander to, the slowly decaying UN and its inability to tie it's own shoes, the end of NATO, etc.
It's alllll about the personal style of the President.
Sigh.
And y'know what? I'm half-tempted to take the NYT's attempt at a point. So you say the froggies are a little embarrassed to be around Bush -- his swagger is a little alarming, he refuses to take off his cowboy hat indoors, and they don't like his pronunciation of "nukular" and the fact that he ends every phone call with "God Bless".
If they are truly saying that THIS is what has kept them from supporting the US position all along... then FUCK THEM.
