Re: ...I am not sure the author knows what point he is trying to make.

All right... I've excerpted the author's gist:

...why does Europe need expanded military forces? What is the threat? Terrorism? Nearly every government in Western Europe thinks terrorism is a matter for the police and intelligence services, not for armies, and that invading Middle Eastern or Asian countries is not the intelligent way to go.

The more they see of a wrecked and destabilized Iraq, the more convinced they are that they are right. The United States is generating terrorists and terrorism at terrible cost to the Iraqis and to itself.
