"The United States is not isolationist," Mr Patten wrote, "but it is prone to unilateralism - and that tendency will be reinforced if Europe is not seen to do more for itself". Mr Patten also reportedly expressed frustration that European governments made grand promises, but often failed to deliver the funds or support to carry them out. news.bbc.co.uk

Hey Gus I am curious to see what you think about who is behind November 17 group...they must be the most elusive terrorist element since the Unabomber<g>. cbc.ca Greek guerrillas claim hit on British diplomat WebPosted Fri Jun 9 15:24:27 2000 ATHENS - An elusive guerrilla group in Greece has claimed responsibility for killing a senior British diplomat, saying he helped co-ordinate NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia. LINKS: Websites related to this story In a letter to an Athens newspaper Friday, the anti-NATO group known as November 17 said Brig. Stephen Saunders played a major role in last year's bombing campaign. "We chose the senior English officer not only because England took part actively in the bombardments like it does with the United States during the periodic bombardment of Iraq, but because the English policy . . . even surpassed the Americans in provocation, cynicism and aggression," the statement said. The British embassy in Athens said Saunders, Britain's top defence attach‚, had "no direct role" in NATO's campaign. Two men on a motorcycle shot Saunders in the head and chest as he drove to work in the Greek capital early Thursday morning. He died later in hospital. In its statement, the group also accuses the Greek government of being active in the NATO attacks. However, Greece has traditionally friendly ties with Serbia because they share Orthodox roots. November 17 is named after the 1973 student uprising against the military regime that ruled Greece from 1967 to 1974. The guerrilla group killed its first victim, the American CIA chief in Greece, 25 years ago. Since then, it has killed 23 other people including foreigners and Greeks. The United States has criticized Greece repeatedly for having weak anti-terrorism measures. Since the November 17 terrorist group began its activities more than two decades ago, not a single member has ever been arrested. Thursday's ambush also raises international concerns over security at the 2004 Olympics which are being held in Athens. Saunders was killed near the main stadium for the games.
