A weaker Europe no good news for the US
If the French vote "no" tonight on Europe's constitutional treaty, some in the United States might feel relieved: a weakened Europe will pose no threat to American supremacy in the world. They would be wrong, according to François Heisbourg, director of the Foundation for Strategic Research in Paris. In a column published by the International Herald Tribune, Heisbourg writes that
a navel-gazing, disengaged Europe is not going to be of much help in a world in which the United States has few other friends of similar economic and political weight.
