Jonathan Steele- argues Europe and America: allies no longer

For those of us still smarming over the potentiality of Four More Years this article: Nato is a threat to Europe and must be disbanded is something we saw coming. When Bush invaded Iraq without the consensus of major allies, it was pretty darn obvious that the normal reaction would be to reject the notion of a special relationship between the US and Europe. Europe seeking its independent sense and force of security is a natural outcome of US unilateralism. Some may have hoped that this was a temporary state of affairs, but Dubya's re-election serves to extend the shelf-life of this un-allied stance to foreign ventures and self-interest.

UPDATE: Today (Nov-15) Tony Blair found jesus- apparently, he doesn't believe in unilaterilism for its own sake. What is he? nuts. he is urging the US to reach out, duh. A case of: Thousands of dead civilians too late, and billions of dollars short. Go to fucking hell, Tony.
