As a European country, Britain is torn over Bush. But so is America
Timothy Garton Ash

As those joining the anti-Bush demonstration make their way into
central London today, they will cross paths with people returning from
a memorial service in Westminster Cathedral for Hugo Young, this
paper's long-time columnist. Some may even do both.
The last years of Hugo Young's life were spent trying to get the
British to wake up to the fact that we are Europeans. At first glance,
it seems ironic that his memorial service coincides with a stately,
gilded celebration of the "special relationship" between the US and
the UK, whose mythology and illusions he so much distrusted. But look
again. In the way Britain has greeted the state visit of President
Bush you can already see how far Britain has, in fact, become a
European country. Eisenhower, visiting Churchill 50 years ago, would
have been a very different story.
