Andy44,
Love? All depends on what one wants to say by love.
I speak, moreover, only of what I read in some French newspapers, among the reactions of the readers to the articles devoted to Barak Obama.The newspaper Le Monde, mainly. For the European people, i do not know.
What to say?
1/ The campaign of BO was the subject of more articles, in particular relating to the campaign for the primary's with H Clinton, that that of Mc Cain. What does not show anything (after all, comments could be there, as well, ascerbes), but...
2/ I believe that we preserve this pride of us to be opposed in the terms, at the war in Iraq through J Chirac and D de Villepin. Pride which grows blurred (estomper) little by little in ratio with the policy perceived like disordered of our current president, and rather Atlantist. In any case in favour of a return to NATO, even if, in fact, we never ceased being active there, in the commands.
3/ In one moment when much, in the hearts at least, there is little still, wished Europe and was smelled little by little to become Européens as much as nationals.
4/ In one moment when the image of JWB and his team is far from shining with highest, here, and where, considering by far, seen from France, its possible successor, J Mc Cain, is not regarded very differently as its double.
5/ However there is not here and much less than yesterday of anti-Americanism as the opinion gets information, with time, more finely, and learn that there is not one America (in spite of the fact thayt it's not a news), but multiple opinions, and to simplify, and pure less, one preserving camp,conservative, and a camp looked like progressist. It east can be the history which carries out each one to understand that, and that of the United States, these last years, in the radicality of its management/governement with can be accelerated this comprehension.
6/ It appears clear that the recent question of Ossetie with probably revived at each one, of the feelings of aversion towards this one or that one, but the greatest complexity of the international relations, or, at least, the increase in the visible number of the suceptibles speakers/nations to make move these relations reduced the attitudes and the reflexions block against block. Nobody here, for example,is very trustful in the Iranian intentions, but little would see like exit a second, third (?) face (front) to open against this population. I do not believe that it is tepidity (tiedeur), molesse or cowardice. Of course, people want to be able to deal of them, their future and purchasing power to them (which drop), this safe from conflicts, still, here or there.
But it is is I believe as much, without to say that the French, Europeans, are soft humanistic a little out of the realities of the world, I believe well that our territorial proximity with these areas ( Middle East ) and our common history (even if, after all, the American people are also made descendants of the old Europe)... this proximity makes us look at them differently than on the other edge of the Atlantic, or of Extrem East. Nothing really original in my comment here.
It east can be a question of interest, energetics, inter alia, but not less glance about than one would wish civilization in the world present.
Without neglecting to keep did the opened eyes, I appreciate the speech of J Kerry, a few days recalling in Denver all that the government had said that it would not make here still a few months (withdrawal of Iraq, making contact with the Iranian authorities...) and what it seems (operation electoralist ? has to see...) to start to regard as possible. After all, there is the right to change when a situation appears to us to develop. But nevertheless...
Here. I would not make too the praise of Obama. Initially because it does not deserve it as much as that, even if, being American, my vote would be probably for the democratic party and those which represent it today. J Kerry, inter alia.
But i'm not. And how to imagine when you have never lived here or there.
I would not make too the praise of Obama, then, for what one says that a too strong support of a candidate on your premise, coming from Europe, could to more harm him that another thing. I mean : deserve him. Obama does not seem too much to have dropped in the surveys after its speech of Berlin and its rapid visits here, but one says that J Kerry to rather lost voices with being plebiscite by Europe that it gained
Bonne chance with you of it and that the most qualified, responsible, carry it.
My isn't English famous not?
I use, as I can my own knowledge and hyperwords.
