A majority of Germans opposed the Iraq war, and that was the key issue in last elections - unfortunately not the bad economy. Polls show that Germans think positive of the American people, however, Bush is unpopular here - so he is in whole Europe.

Reminds me of a joke back in the mid nineties under Clinton
Why doesn't the U.S. need a foreign policy?
The Europeans already have one.

Those days are over.

Fine, then let them fend for themselves and not expect the US to give them plum Iraqi contracts.

Actions have consequences.

And Bush is NOT unpopular "in Europe". He may be unpopular in the "old Europe", who turned socialist, while East Europe threw down their socialist shakles. The E. European countries have been very supportive of Bush and the war in Iraq.
