Who gives a rats ass? OK, I can understand americans caring but their opinions are pretty much worthless on everything anyway. For the rest of us, we can't affect the vote, we don't have to directly live with the outcome so why all the noise. If people really cared about US foreign policy and how it affects Europe they would be voting for stronger EU institutions, economy and defenses instead of whining about Bush. US politics is a reflection of the character of the US people and not some anomoly. They get a dim witted, fundamentalist war mongering cowboy as President because a majority of the people voting are dim witted/religous fundemantalist/gun carrying/cowboys. Arrgh!
By the same democratic logic, the French tend to get arrogant womanising presidents, the Germans dull, well fed economically obsessed chancellors and the british get Tony Blair.
