Everyone knows Bush has alienated Europe hopelessly. That is why Germany, France, and now Italy have pro-American governments. But of course there is Britain, where the left got all excited by pro-American Tony Blair's replacement by supposedly America-hostile Gordon Brown. So the left must be in a fury with today's Guardian headline:
Brown and Bush reignite that special relationship Leaders see eye to eye on battle against terrorism, Iran sanctions and Mugabe
Hmmm. Maybe there is hope for Europe after all.
UPDATE: Abe Greenwald is a tad, but only a tad, less snarky than me on this point. And I note my snarkiness is partly a consequence of discovering that the demand for visas to the US is so big that it takes nearly a month to get a visa appointment at the US embassy in Dublin, even though the bulk of Irish passport holders do not need a visa.
