Europeans Bewildered By Bush's Ideological Stubbornness

A brief look at some European daily newspapers yesterday and today results in a unified impression of bewilderment: What is this guy thinking? Representative for the mood is a commentary in the German daily Die Süddeutsche Zeitung. Commentator Peter Lindner states:

“Bush’s new plan reads like a counter-concept to the report of the Baker-Hamilton Committee. The plan won’t bring peace, but rather has the potential to further instigate hostilities in Iraq. Bush’s new plan is nothing but additional evidence for his helplessness.”
