"Fear and violence haven't worked."
The war in Iraq remains the biggest sticking point. "It's 90 percent Iraq and 10 percent of climate change, stubbornness," Berbner said.
Tony Jenkins, a reporter for Expresso, a Sunday newspaper in Portugal, said European attitudes toward U.S. foreign policy cannot be dismissed as hatred toward America or disagreement over the approach to the war in Iraq.
Jenkins, a British born journalist whose family lives in Spain, said Europeans still look to the United States to be a global leader, hoping that the next president will pursue a more expansive, diplomatic foreign policy that will instill hope in other countries.
"It's a sense that these tactics haven't worked," Jenkins said. "Fear and violence haven't worked." European opposition to the war in Iraq is about more than a difference in philosophy. Self-preservation is also at stake, Jenkins said, as some worry that new generations of terrorists spawned in Iraq will take revenge on European targets. "It's seen as not just failing, but backfiring," he said. >>>cont
