(Yes, there was irony...
...impression, gesture by gesture, of having come, or run, a long way--he was Huck Finn with a guitar. Before such artfulness, death ain't nothin' but a hound dog.

They remember America's isolationist reflexes in Bosnia and Kosovo - "Let's bomb 'em and get out." Allies loathe entrapment in indeterminate wars that leave them holding the bag. Listen to German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer make the point. Does the U.S. understand, he asks, that victory has to be followed by a "complete reordering of the Middle East, above all politically?" This might "require a U.S. presence that could last for decades. But are the Americans truly willing to stay...
