At this time in history, I believe the U.S. needs NATO more than the European members need NATO. It may have worn out its usefulness to Europe, but I think the alliance did help European nations out once upon a time. Is there nothing that can be done to salvage the marraige?

I feel that if NATO dissolves, then ever member is poorer because of it. Likely a totally American view point, but we need friends -- in sickness and in health.

Put it this way, America has fallen ill and now needs help. Presently seems to be having a difficult time help itself. Can NATO or Europe, somehow, help revitalize an old partner?

If the US needs help, it is not military help, so NATO is not needed.

Bush is a symptom, not the disease.
