World Reacts to Bush's Re-election

From Europe to Asia, world leaders have offered up mixed congratulations to George W. Bush for being re-elected for a second term in last Tuesday's U.S. presidential election.

Many are urging Bush to soften what they regard as America's unilateralist approach to world affairs, though Bush's decisive win may reinforce that approach. Some European leaders also hope that Bush's desire for international support over the war in Iraq will encourage him to start dialogue and perhaps, even make concessions, on other issues.
