ROTFLOL.... Europeans expend an awful lot of energy explaining why nothing can change: it's "absurdly ignorant" even to suggest getting rid of Arafat; it's preposterous to pursue "crackpot" (John Simpson) plans for missile defence because it would ?humiliate? the Russians. But Bush went ahead, and the Russians are fine about it, and Yasser?s packing, and, behind the scenes, the Aussies and Canucks and not a few others are relieved that the unilateralist cowboy has killed Kyoto. Bush tosses a pebble in the water and the ripples spread across the lake; the EU drops a huge rock of conventional wisdom and it sinks without trace. I?ve said before that, if America is Coke, the world could use a Pepsi. If the EU doesn't have the will to fulfil that role militarily, it could at least try to do it intellectually, with a bit of fresh creative thinking about some of these issues. But instead it clings to 1970s terrorists, 1970s missile treaties and 1970s environmental doom-mongering. Poor old Europe: never mind walking the walk, it can't even talk the talk.
