5. From the comments section:

"In order to get attuned a potpourri of comments from leading European newspapers on George Bush's accomplishments in Bucharest (my translations from Austrian Der Standard):

Süddeutsche Zeitung (Munich):
"He was prepared to offend major allies - it is his own fault to feel vanquished now (…) He embarked on this venture fairly counterproductive and undiplomatic, ignoring that the previous NATO enlargement only worked because Russia was mainstreamed into the decision making process. Bush has mainstreamed no one, now he got what he asked for."

Le Figaro (Paris):
"At the NATO Summit in Bucharest the lack of American leadership became apparent in times, characterized by the war in Iraq and a transatlantic crisis, he has to account for. Quite a pathetic result for a presidency that has commissioned violence for a reckless ideology of conquest."

Il Messagero (Rome):
"At the end of the day, old Europe was victorious (…) It was the first summit at which it was dared to dissent with the wise words Lord Ismay said half a century ago, that the alliance was created to keep America in, Russia out, and Germany down, … well, this time, it did not work."

Der Standard (Vienna):
"This summit rather contributes to the destabilization of Europe … NATO is set on blind flight, lives from hand to mouth and compensates a lack of strategy with enlargement-rounds … with its too fast and too aggressive behavior, this U.S. administration inflicts damage on no one but NATO itself."

6. Good description in link of Europe's "love and respect" for * and US:

"It truly seems as if after seven years of American unilateral arrogance, divisiveness, smart-alecking, and neo-colonialist hubris, Europe is celebrating having to host George Bush one last time and to soundly sock him on the jaw for goodbye.

8. The attached article is very good.

from a Guardian excerpt:

"In short, the W in George W stands for weak. For all the macho Texan swagger - "your man has cojones" and so on - this Bush has been, on the things that really matter to the world, a weak president. Whereas the outwardly mild and preppy George Bush Sr was, on things that really mattered to the world, a strong president - that is, an effective practitioner of international statecraft. Bush the son reportedly has a complicated relationship with his father, some would even say a complex. Well Oedipus, shmoedipus ... but daddy did better."

Ouch.. that's gotta hurt...
