President Bush addresses the U.N. today regarding the Iraq situation, challenging the second coming of the league of nations to either enforce the resolutions they passed in 1991 against Iraq’s weapons programs or get out of the way and let the U.S. take care of it.
On the flip side of things, while many Europeans grieved with us on the anniversary of country’s tragedy, they are once again allowing themselves to disagree openly with the way the U.S. carries itself abroad:
“Last year, a day after Sept. 11, a front-page editorial in the French newspaper Le Monde stated and restated the phrase, ‘We are all American.’ But on Tuesday, the same writer, Jean-Marie Colombani, in the same paper observed that ‘the solidarity reflex from one year ago has been drowned in a wave that leads one to believe that, in the world, we have all become anti-American.’”

I think the problem stems from an inconceivable definition of: America or American
It’s really a moving target
(keeping with the military theme)
I think the problem stems from the French being a bunch of imbeciles who have not done anything globally notable since the revolutionary war. That is just my opinion, mind you.
Opps, silly me! I forgot about the concorde! Ok, so it is the revolutionary war then the concorde. I am pretty sure that covers it.
