...will not be as welcome. The decision by the company to make a significant move into the U.S. comes at a sensitive time. The U.S. is still smarting over French and German opposition to the war in Iraq, and Washington is angry about the European Union's intention to lift an embargo on arms sales to China. (EADS is controlled 30% by Germany's DaimlerChrysler, 30% by SOGEADE--half owned by the French government--and 5% by the Spanish state holding company; 35% is publicly traded.)

And it sort of plays up the “cheer up, because life is beautiful and children are our future!” aspect of the song to an overly sentimental degree. But the decisions to put the whole thing in the soft focus of a dream...
...diminishing those numbers. There's the economy, which has shown signs of weakness-market jitters, alarming trade deficits and high oil prices. With the Iraq issue settling into an uncomfortable background of casualties-and-baby-steps-toward-democracy, there's no galvanizing terror issue to give Bush his usual lift in the polls...
