Maybe that was the double barreled version of that slick move that Spock would pull on people.

"immediate cease-fire" or "immediate end to hositilities" - the only thing that happened is that once again the EU has shown how irrelevant it is.

World politics is not decided by "lagaleze" but hard facts. Hopefully the US and Israel are creating those in the Middle East as we speak.

Hmmmm.. And here the liberals have been crying that we 'have no allies' in Europe.

Oh,, I get it. 'No allies' means the FRENCH!

It's a very good fortune to have the Germans in our corner.

It will be also interpreted as a snub to Jacques Chirac, the French president, who has been demanding an immediate ceasefire. Margaret Beckett, the foreign secretary, was joined by her German, Czech and Polish counterparts in resisting a challenge by the Finns and the French to unite behind a stronger statement which also warned of breaches of international law in the three-week old conflict.

The day always seems brighter when the French get burned. The Poles are good people, Czech's thank you, and seems Merkel is proving a strong ally with Blair/Britain against France. If Sarkozy were able to win election in France, it would make the European Union a powerful ally alongside us, Australia, Japan and so forth against China and Russia's alliance with Iran and Syria. India, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Egypt seemingly leaning our way in this war too. Iraq and Afghanistan not effective allies any longer for the fascists in the M.E.

This is foing to hurt baby Assad, mini Hitler and Hezbollah though. They are used to unconditional support from Europe. On top of the G-8 release, this must depress them.

We live in a messed up world where the Germans don't want to go to war and the French think that Americans are arrogant.

Two sentences sum up that situation.

If the Arabs put down their weapons, the violence is finished.
If the Israelis put down their weapons, Israel is finished.
