Parting of the Ways?
Growing tension in the Western Alliance has prompted some sharp words and new thinking on both sides of the Atlantic. The West Europeans are trying to set up their own peace initiative in the Middle East, involving the Palestinians; the West failed to agree a common position on sanctions against Iran; and after Afghanistan there are differences about the future of détente. Are European and American long-term interests diverging? Are we seeing the emergence of a separate European foreign policy? What is the future of the Alliance?
