Does Europe need the US？

　　President George W Bush has faced angry demonstrators during his first tour of Europe since coming to the White House. Europeans are angry that the Bush administration has turned its back on the Kyoto treaty on tackling global warming and the Russians are particularly fearful of the contentious US missile defence plans. Despite a huge volume of tradeand political cooperation between Europe and America there is also a seemingly immense cultural divide. On issues from defence and the environment to abortion and the death penalty thereis a European rebellion against American values and culture.

　　欧洲需要美国吗？

　　入主白宫之后的第一次欧洲之旅，美国总统乔治-沃尔-布什就遇到了愤怒的示威者。

　　欧洲人对布什政府拒绝签署防止全球变暖的《京都议定书》感到愤怒，俄罗斯人则对引起众人非议的美国导弹防御计划心存疑虑。

　　尽管欧美之间在贸易和政治上有着广泛的合作，但在世人看来，两者间亦存在着巨大的文化差异。在国防、环境以及堕胎和死刑等问题上，欧洲人表现出了对美国价值观以及文化的反抗。
