What's NATO for | 54 comments (54 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

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?

Re: The marraige called NATO (4.00 / 6)

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

Bush is a symptom, not the disease.
