Europa y EEUU

Veo en Hispalibertas una muy interesante columna sobre la relación de dependencia mutua por cuestiones de seguridad entre EEUU y Europa:

In his introductory speech in Brussels, Bush declared: "In a new century, the alliance of Europe and North America is the main pillar of our security."

In most respects, that's simply not true.

The only sense in which it is remotely true is the oversized diplomatic role Europe continues to play, particularly its disproportionate representation on the U.N. Security Council, a remnant of the post-World War II world.

So, what Europe thinks has consequences. But, contrary to the Cold War era, U.S. security interests are not anchored in Europe.
