In his article Mr. Hameed al-Shallal says the Bush administration, ever since he first day of assuming power, has been characterized by an individualist approach based on selecting American targets and strategies during a certain stage then to embark at international and foreign levels to apply and accomplish it, heedless of opposition and resentment shown by other countries. There has been an apparent ignorance towards the rest of the world by the American administration. As a result of these stands the Bush administration had, before the 11 September events, reached to the remotest point of isolation since the end of the cold war. But those events had restored the process of reshuffling international cards and offered the evil Bush a gift on a gold platter it has never dreamed of in its quest for enhancing its orientations in the international politics.
America's entering in Iraq could certainly the gateway to towards other countries in the region under justifications of '' democracy'' and war on ''terrorism'' in support for freedom and peace and directly re-colonize the Gulf region to control its oil wealth. Thus America could be in control of two thirds of the world oil reserve and consequently to force Europe to be under the mercy of America, a matter contradicting the policy and vision of the European Union that believes in a multi-polar system.
America is the strongest military and economic power but Europe is the cornerstone and the weighing force of the world public opinion and has a cultural civilization role rendering it closer to other peoples of the world.
