<SI ate it> That never happens to me. Every morning, I offer a burnt offering to the Goddess of Entropy (She of the Hundred Heads and Uncountable All-Enfolding Arms). If you'd like, I can PM you my Prayer For Averting Chaos.

However, I can't see it lasting very long but I wouldn't mind if it did. I agree - this French-German-Russian-Chinese alliance is just a rather arbitrary temporary get-together. In German we have the term "Gesetz des Handelns", the "law of acting" - he who acts has an advantage. Compared to the generally glacial movement of politics in pre-9/11 times there's a notable acceleration with the USA driving the agenda. In the medium term (3-5 years) this won't change, there will only be token opposition during the rebuilding of America's defenses.
