Saying there was "no conflict" between the United States and Europe, U.S. President George W. Bush on Saturday called on trans-Atlantic allies to unite against terrorism

Bush, speaking in Krakow town square on the first day of a week-long tour of Europe and the Middle East, sought to heal divisions between longtime NATO members over the U.S.-led war in Iraq. "This is no time to stir up divisions in a great alliance," he said. "Today our alliance faces a new enemy: a lethal combination of terror groups, outlaw states seeking weapons of mass destruction and an ideology of power and domination that targets the innocent and justifies any crime," Bush said. "This is a time for all of us to unite in the defense of liberty, and to step up to the shared duties of free nations." Bush also sought to defend Poland against other European nations that criticized Warsaw for its staunch support of the Iraq war. Bush spoke after meeting with Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski to thank him for his country's support for the war.
