Thank you for posting my comment. Actually in The Times the former British Ambassador to Washington (of all people) has also said that the NATO membership for the former Soviet Union countries was not a sensible idea. I used to think of him as the American Ambassador to Great Britain because he was always back in London for TV appearances trying to win support for the invasion of Iraq. His remarks about the European Union are very silly. These people remind me slightly of minor characters in "The Remains of the Day". Still it might interest you. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article4656255.ece I really respect what your President is trying to do. I hope the Americans will give him their support. I am actually pro-American in the end (not very pro-Bush though) but I also love "the old Europe"!

I'm not sure I'd fully agree with the last comment on Sarkozy, given that most of what he does is for show rather than substantial, but it's true that he has been a moderating rather than a worsening force on that particular crisis, in his eagerness to get "peace" headlines. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
