No one will stop trade, or immigration, or fishing, or drugs, or the environment, or antiterrorism, or space exploration, or data transmission services, or reserve currency policies, or WMD black markets in former Soviet republics, or human rights, or any of the dozens of things we are totally linked to Europe in day in and day out. That's why we were evolving to a G8 world in the wake of the Cold War. Now that whole structure is in doubt. Anyone who thinks that a military victory in Iraq means the US will be the world's darling and get our way in all of the above is living in a high school football fantasyland. Anyone who thinks these issues can be dealt with unilaterally doesn't know much about how the world really works. But US foreign policy seems to be headed for a giant bubble of ignorance. Here's a quiz - who are America's largest trading partners? Where did they stand on Iraq? Have they shown any signs of changing their position? Will a free Iraq affect their behavior at a dozen negotiating tables this year or next? These are all questions that the US media largely ignored in favor of breathless updates from the front. But they will shape the international agenda for the foreseeable future.
