Another target-rich post. >The mere fact that the Cold War is now over, and the US has freedom to rethink >>its policies in Europe and elsewhere, means that the "benevolent giant" >>image would be history by now no matter what policy the US pursued. If you read my post again, you will see that I am referring to the period after the cold war, when I say that the US was still viewed as the "benevolent giant", very powerful but benign and just. >>I would even argue that the policies that the US is pursuing in the Persian Gulf >>-- regime change in Iraq -- is more in Europe's interest than the policies that France is pursuing Please don't. Are you suggesting that the European countries cannot tell what is in their best interest? >>I think that a reflexive anti-Americanism is driving France's policy making Certainly not.
