It seems that the major Euro newspapers aren’t the only ones figuring out that the Bush Doctrine might just be working.
Paris, France, Mar. 28 (UPI) — Pascal Bruckner still remembers what happened in 2003, after he publicly backed the U.S.-led war in Iraq.
Anonymous callers threatened him by phone. Strangers insulted him on the street. Friends and colleagues told Bruckner, a prominent French novelist and intellectual, that he had taken a gutsy but mistaken stance against the mighty antiwar tide in France.
Two years later, 56-year-old Bruckner is hearing very different reactions.
“People are saying that even if Americans are making a lot of mistakes, they are changing things,” said Bruckner, who supported ousting Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein but is sharply critical of the Bush administration and its handling of the conflict, “while Europe — and especially France — remains terribly conservative. We’re the world champions of the status quo.”
