Europeans for Bush

As you can see below, I�ve paid some attention to who�s been endorsing who, but I confess to being pretty shocked that Germany�s largest, in fact Europe�s largest, newspaper has apparently endorsed President Bush. (Via Michael Totten).
Of course, it would be a little hypocritical for me to put too much stock in this, especially since the paper�s reasoning seems to be that Europeans should support Bush because it will keep them from having to do any heavy lifting in the War on Terror. But it is a nice reminder that world opinion is not as monolithic as some would have us believe. See here for another excellent example of that.
UPDATE (from the Crank): According to the left-wing Guardian, add Tony Blair, who of course won’t come out and say it publicly, to the list of world leaders backing Bush:

The Prime Minister fretted to one close friend: ‘Whenever Bush weakens in the polls, they start mucking about.’
Who are these ‘they’ whose ‘mucking about’ makes Tony Blair so anxious? They are Iran with its sponsorship of terrorism and its ambitions to go nuclear. They are Syria. They are the psychotic regime in North Korea along with the rest of the planet’s rogue and risk states.
The mind of Mr Blair was summarised for me in vivid terms by someone who has an extremely good claim to know what is going on inside it: ‘Tony thinks the world is a very dangerous and precarious place. Bush is the tough guy who keeps the bad guys under their rocks.’
