I agree with you - both are antiamerican, but only France will build Europe
as Superpower. EU together with EasternEurope countrys will be the bigest
economic power in the world (maybe not long when we will not reform the
economy). France need us, Eastern Europeans, only to realize their silly
imperial dreams. But majority of Germans will build completely other Europe,
maybee a little against US, but not as a military Superpower. Only 48%
Germans will Europe as Superpower, in France - 91% (German Marshall Fund, in
FAZ). German-French alliance has no future. In the discussion about
strategy and future of Europe France will stay allone. I can't imagine
Joshka Fischer (friedly) will agree with Chirac (aggression) about aims of
Europe. Majority of European will create the powerfull Union only in economy
and culture. It is OK.
But what about security? Should american citizens continue to pay for our
security? No.
I think we should finance and enlarge NATO as the army of the democratic
world. NATO should invite Russia, S.Korea, Japan, Australia, India, new
democratic Iraq etc. "Connectivity" of the world will grow. We can build
on this way peacefull Europe, contribute to the world security and stay
secure. We will haven't dangerous conflicts not only inside of the
transatlantic community but maybe worldwide. I think Europe as a military
superpower is the very bad idea.
And then?
We will be well prepared for singularity and can control our growing global
brain (and compete in the cosmic evolution).
