George W. Bush is so unpopular in Europe, nobody's even taking time out of their day to protest. Though the president insists he has no regrets about the decision to invade Iraq in 2003 and end Saddam Hussein's regime, he did tell the Times of London, referring to the invasion of Iraq, "I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone, a different rhetoric." He allowed that phrases like "bring them on" and "dead or alive" had given the impression he was "not a man of peace."

This concession is uncharacteristic of a man who takes pride in not being reflective or repentant. With 222 days remaining of his regrettable, two-term presidency, he's now trying to emphasize diplomacy over military force. Hey, Mr. Prez, try this on: too little, too late.

If there's anything at all I can relate to, I, too, regret having said "Bring them on" at every opportunity in pretty much every restaurant I've eaten at.
