Ted, <If you don 't think under the circumstances your girlfriend won't up the ante, I have to say then that your a little naive. Why do you think people walk out on each other?>

Your point is clear, that compromise is necessary to maintain a relationship. My point is that upping the ante by going behind someone's back is not going to bring about compromise. All it will do is exacerbate the rift.

Besides, I feel no need to push this analogy any further, for America and the EU are not joined at the hip, nor should they be. The proper analogy here is coworkers, not lovers.

<Its time to be smart and not the bull in the china closet IMO!>

News flash: The china is already starting to fall. Iraq kicked out the inspectors back in 1998. India and Pakistan are now pointing nukes at each other. North Korea wants a piece of the nuke action as well, if they haven't gotten it yet. Israel and Palestine continue their tit-for-tat attacks. And Al Qaeda has, is, and will continue to attack innocent people all around the world.

So far, the keepers of the fragile peace have proven to be more impotent than effective. I sure wish Bush and Rainbow Rumsfeld can tone down the unilateralism, but they are underscoring a point: U.N. resolutions are pointless without enforcement. Even Kofi Annan gets the point. When will the European peaceniks? When will you?
