Diplomacy does not work when others want no part of you.America had all the good will of the world after 9/11. It is wholly your own government's fault that that is no longer the case. War is a conflict of violence to terminate violence. The liberator is often accused of being the aggressor. Believe that if you want, but there were much better ways of making the case for war than Bush tried. Using words like "evil" and "crusade" and other emotive terms does not sound like the sort of argument a sane politician would use in Europe. Bush could probably have gotten Europe to agree to the war if he hadn't been so bloody-minded about it. |
