All you guys here seem to be pretty clever, reasonable and intelligent but I want to make sure about one thing. No country in Europe (not even France) hates the US. Europe appreciates the US as a trading partner, NATO partner and friend. BUT, only very few people in Europe agree with Bush's politics.
DER SPIEGEL is probably the best weekly magazine in Germany when it comes to politics. It might not be absolutely representative, but when they asked the visitors of their webiste who they wanted to be the next US president, Kerry or Bush, 98 % voted for Kerry.
No one wants to tell the American people who to vote for, what to think or how to defend the US. There is just a need in the US to open the eyes and ears to the world and to see things from different point of views.

I have to more things to throw in. First, I think it is wrong how both election campaigns just focused on the war. It takes more to run a country than just be a good commander in chief.
But I still think that a president who has seen the war with his own eyes knows what it means to send soldiers into battle.

Maybe you can already tell, but I am from Germany and currently studying in California.
And you are more then welcome to visit Europe and to enjoy some French wine or German beer!
