On my “I’d like to buy you a drink” list today is the mayor of London, who said today that he thought President Bush represented everything that was repellent in politics and looks forward to a regime change in Washington just as much as he did for Iraq.

The BBC then cut to a slew of American tourists and students who tried to go on about how any educated person would realize that Mr. Bush is a genius.

Today in France they continue to wonder why a difference in opinion has threatened the longstanding ties between their nation and the United States. The US Ambassador recently made some remarks that basically went so far as to state that either France would go along with US plans for the rebuilding of Iraq or that their relationship would be further scrutinized.

France, as you may recall, aided the Americans with their liberation and are also a democratic nation. Which has to make you wonder why the United States feels it’s all right to bring Democracy to Iraq but not allow a nation that was democratic before it even existed to have an opinion of its own.
