I enjoy blaming Bush for lots of things, but in this instance, his antics really have had a profoundly negative effect. The hatred he has generated for the US is a prime factor in the EU seeking independance. Only a strong diplomatic position and tact would head this off, but seeing as our chief executive jackass had neither, it likely will happen.
Sometime soon, people will wake up and start to see the horrible price in prestige and power that the Iraq war has cost us. Its a national disaster.

You're kidding, right?
The French and the EU have and continue to look to circumvent or marginalize the U.S. whenever they can. Both will collapse under there own weight within our lifetimes. (The French under the tremendous burden of socialism and the EU under the weight of the French.)
I say give 'em the finger.
