    Europe: the End of the Affair?

    John Kerry’s supporters say the Massachusetts Senator could win European support for US operations in Iraq just by virtue of not being George W. Bush. Kerry does speak fluent French, but does he speak their language? And does it really matter? That’s latest question in our "30 Issues in 20 Days" series. Also, Bush’s speech at the UN, and Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis debut their new film on worker-run factories in Argentina, "The Take".
