The European press was not attacking Bush for not being good at
public relations, it was much more personal.

I think you should expect that when you start pointing the finger
at someone. It provokes.

Can you explain how Presidential candidate Bush provoked Europe? Was
it his unappologetic "America first" theme?

I'm talking about the Iraqi buildup.

Why is this never
acceptable for the United States, but completely acceptable for
European nations to put themselves first?

We do? On the 20th of september the UN general assembly voted
overwhelmingly 133 to 4 to tell Israel to drop its threat to
harm or deport Yasser Arafat. The US voted no, along with Israel
and later the US vetoed it in the UN security council. It was
no less than the 26th US veto of a Mideast resolution in the council.

European countries tend to respect UN resolutions. The United States
goes to war with any country seen as a perceived threat, misleads
its allies, ignores the international community and displays an
absolute disrespect for international agreements and coorperation.

It's not hard to find the reasons for the worlds oposition against
the americans, if one cares to look.
