The press in the Netherlands questioned if Bush his words could convince a lot of people to enter the war on terror.
Well yes - that's what the press was expecting - a speech to plea to the sensitivites of the media elites to validate a war on Iraq and terrorism. And since the speech did not focus on such expected pleas, they question its success. However, did Bush care? And what was his speech about - off the bat, Russia, soothing Europes fears that we would dump them by Russia, Europe and America together, but other times giving a warning by mentioning only Russia and America. Dutch media sounds like the American media.
Of course, maybe diplomatic nuance and subtlety is worthless in these more loud, television-defined times. I'm still laughing about how the media didn't examine Bush's previous speeches for signals, like to Iran.
