Nous aussi, nous sommes passionn\u00e9ment \u00e0 Boston<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

\t27 juillet 2004 C’est donc le Boston Globe<\/em>, repris<\/a> par l’International Herald Tribune<\/em>, qui l’annonce: l’Europe a passionn\u00e9ment besoin de John Kerry, elle a passionn\u00e9ment besoin que John Kerry soit \u00e9lu. L’Europe se trouve \u00e0 Boston, derri\u00e8re John Kerry, passionn\u00e9ment Il est vrai que le Globe<\/em> utilise ce terme dans son titre et dans son texte, et que c’est exactement le terme qui convient: \u00abIn Europe, passionate cheering for Kerry<\/em>\u00bb.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abMost European historians and political pundits agree that it has been a long time, at least a generation, since the world has felt so consumed with passion about an American election, and since so many have been so hopeful of regime change in Washington. This year, they say, there is one place where the choice between John Kerry and George W. Bush will indeed have a profound impact, and interestingly it is not the Middle East. It is Europe.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbTimothy Garton Ash, director of the European Studies Center at Oxford, argues that the wrenching confrontation between Europe and America over the war in Iraq has plunged the world into crisis and made this a formative election for the world. If Bush is re-elected, Garton Ash said, his perceived unilateral approach to the international community and willingness to flout international law will cause Europe to define ourselves against America. He added: You will become the other,’ for Europeans.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLes arguments pour Kerry, du point de vue europ\u00e9en, tout le monde les conna\u00eet. Encore est-il int\u00e9ressant de lire ce qu’en dit un diplomate europ\u00e9en en poste \u00e0 Washington, anonyme bien entendu, car il fixe bien les limites de ce que peuvent attendre les Europ\u00e9ens de Kerry, et de ce qu’ils en attendent effectivement. \u00abThere will be a sense of relief in Europe if Kerry is elected. He has a very different style than Bush, and a very different instinct as an internationalist. And in diplomacy, style is substance. The foreign policy establishment in the Democratic Party is not substantively different from that of the Republicans, certainly not in the Middle East. But with Kerry the feeling is that there will at least be a dialogue, an attempt at understanding.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tR\u00e9sumons ce que nous dit notre homme: en gros, avec Kerry il n’y aura pas de changements mais on pourra parler, on pourra dialoguer, le feeling<\/em> sera diff\u00e9rent, on sera entre gens sympas, etc. Les diplomates seront donc contents, et le n\u00f4tre par cons\u00e9quent, et les Europ\u00e9ens pousseront un ouf ! de soulagement. Comprenons-nous bien : ce soulagement sera de pure forme et si certains veulent parler d’un l\u00e2che soulagement, on avouera que la formule a sa place. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tKerry l’homme des Europ\u00e9ens? M\u00eame pas, l’homme d’un r\u00e9pit tr\u00e8s court dans le calvaire que l’\u00e9volution de l’Am\u00e9rique constitue pour l’Am\u00e9rique. Tr\u00e8s vite, Kerry deviendra aussi intenable que GW Bush, m\u00eame s’il dialogue, parce que Kerry est, comme GW Bush, l’homme d’une machine qui marche sans lui et qu’il a int\u00e9r\u00eat \u00e0 suivre en faisant semblant de la diriger, un peu comme nous le dit l’expression du bon sens populaire qui recommande d’embrasser celui que l’on ne peut \u00e9touffer. Et Richard Holbrooke, son probable secr\u00e9taire d’\u00c9tat vaudra, comme on l’a d\u00e9j\u00e0 dit, largement Donald Rumsfeld en brutalit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tEn fait, ce qui est finalement le plus inqui\u00e9tant dans l’attitude des Europ\u00e9ens, c’est la fa\u00e7on dont ils sont en train de diaboliser, par simple r\u00e9action indirecte, l’autre option, qui est la r\u00e9\u00e9lection de GW Bush (laquelle reste, \u00e0 notre sens, une option extr\u00eamement forte, peut-\u00eatre plus que celle de l’\u00e9lection de Kerry). Ils font de Kerry, par l\u00e2che soulagement, une solution si forte aux tourments de leurs relations avec les USA, alors qu’elle ne l’est pas, qu’ils font appara\u00eetre par contraste la situation de GW, et, par cons\u00e9quent, sa r\u00e9\u00e9lection, comme une catastrophe menant in\u00e9vitablement \u00e0 la rupture. C’est bien ce que dit Garton Ash, dans la citation ci-dessous : \u00ab If Bush is re-elected, his perceived unilateral approach to the international community and willingness to flout international law will cause Europe to define ourselves against America. <\/em>[America] will become the other, for Europeans.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tDemain, si GW est r\u00e9\u00e9lu, l’Europe aura l’impression que la guerre est d\u00e9clar\u00e9e<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
