So many folks constantly complain about the US rather than outlining what an independent European policy would look like.
Such a European policy independent from the US would be great and much better than staying on the sidelines and complain about US policy 24/7.
Why hasn't the EU progressed any furhter with such European Foreign Policy?
It has been declared a goal for ages, but the EU countries can't get their act together.
Even the mission in Lebanon isn't an EU organized mission. Solana wasn't even coordinating it very much. The EU member states did not let him.

The fact is, Atlanticism is a major axis of opinion [in the sense of the dimensions of the Political Compass: I lack a name for the opposite direction to Atlanticism] in the EU. There doesn't seem to be any likelihood of a consensus on that dimension for the foreseeable future. Those whom the Gods wish to destroy They first make mad. — Euripides
