(Gold9472: Then I can't think of any reason why we shouldn't re-investigate 9/11. U.S. Policy is destabilizing the planet.)

(Vienna, Austria-AP) June 21, 2006 - President Bush says Europeans who blast US foreign policy should put themselves in America's shoes.

He took questions in Austria Wednesday about the unpopular Iraq war, confrontation with Iran, North Korea and the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba.

A reporter asked about a poll from the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press that found Europeans see the US involvement in Iraq as more of a danger than Iran's nuclear program. Bush dismissed that idea as "absurd," saying the US is an open democracy and a threat to no one.

Bush says 9/11 changed America. He says European critics of the US might see the attacks as a "moment," but that he feels the attacks required a fundamental change in US foreign policy.

I would imagine he does not see it this way.
