ANALYSIS-Iraq, U.S. election losses trail Bush to Europe - by Caren Bohan
WASHINGTON, Nov 22 (Reuters) - When President George W. Bush visits Europe next week for the first time since crushing U.S. election losses, allies will find him hobbled by the defeat and chastened by the clamor for change in Iraq. Foreign policy experts and analysts predict at least a glimmer of the humility in international affairs that Bush promised six years ago when he first won the White House but hardly a wholesale rollback of the hawkish policies that angered many European leaders.
"European allies expect a turn back toward the center and a kinder and gentler America," said Charles Kupchan, a scholar at the Council on Foreign Relations.
