Bush shows Old Europe a new face of caring and sharing
From Charles Bremner in Vienna

PRESIDENT BUSH sought to repair his tattered reputation in Europe yesterday, talking of his “deep desire” to close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp and conceding that his response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks had not been understood by much of the continent.

At a summit with the EU leadership in Vienna, Mr Bush rejected as inadequate Iran’s promise to reply in August to a US-European offer for talks on its nuclear programme. “It should not take the Iranians that long to analyse what is a reasonable deal,” he said...

A poll published by he Pew Research Centre in the US last week suggested that a record majority of Europeans held a negative view of the US. A Harris poll this week suggested that most Europeans considered the US a bigger threat to world peace than Iran, North Korea or China. “I think that it is absurd for people to think that we are more dangerous than Iran,” Mr Bush replied, when that figure was quoted to him at a news conference in the glittering ballroom of the former imperial Hofburg Palace. “We are a transparent democracy that debates things in the open,” he said.

Mr Bush forestalled the Europeans by raising the issue of Guantanamo Bay at the summit, saying that he understood their concerns. He spoke of his “deep desire to end the programme”, adding: “I’d like to end Guantanamo. I’d like it to be over with.” Some of the inmates would be returned to their home countries, he said. But “there are some that need to be tried in US courts. They are cold-blooded killers. They will murder someone if out on the street.” blah blah blah

2. Unfortunately for Bush, his response to 911 was understood

all too well by most of the contintent.

As long as the Bush Crime Family controls this country, it is a greater threat to world peace than Iran, North Korea or China.
