Non ti fidar. Da Jimmomo una carrellata di consigli elargiti a piene mani dai diversi opinionisti in vista del viaggio di Bush in Europa. Tra tutte, scegliamo le osservazioni di Jim Hoagland che non si fa troppe illusioni e sembra conoscere gli attuali leaders europei meglio di tanti altri:
President Bush may want to keep the fox metaphor in mind on his journey to Europe this week. It would caution him against hoping for an immediate grand bargain with Schroeder, Jacques Chirac, the Belgians and others who have challenged America's global leadership in Iraq and elsewhere. Expect little on that front, Mr. President. They are not ready. And neither are you. Official U.S. thinking still underestimates how thoroughly foreign policy has become the leading instrument of domestic politics in a number of European countries that no longer face the threat of a Soviet invasion. Large Muslim minorities in their midst also complicate European calculations on Atlanticism. If Schroeder and Chirac join on "multipolarity," it is because they face the same domestic imperatives.
