That's Cynical
"We do not accept a false caricature that divides the Western world between an idealistic United States and a cynical Europe," President Bush said (presumably with a straight face) yesterday.
Um...Mr. President...When you said the UN might become irrelevant if it disagreed with your policies and when your secretary of defense referred to France and Germany as Old Europe, you created that very divide. Touring Europe for five days to try to patch up wounds created not just by your policies, but also by your rhetoric - that's cynical.
