Lost in Europe

Having attained the support of these allies in 2003, the Bush administration, not its successors, ignored them, failed to reward or acknowledge them, and then bungled the Iraqi "occupation" so badly that they all suffered political setbacks at home. Tony Blair's loyalty to the United States in Iraq is remembered, in Britain, as a great stain on his record, not as a moment of triumph and glory. The U.S.-Polish negotiations over the missile defense program are remembered for the broken promises made in the Bush years as well as more recent policy changes. Full disclosure: I am married to the Polish foreign minister. But I wouldn't need to ask him about this disillusionment, because it's been all over the Polish newspapers for years.
