It certainly won't hurt the top men themselves, each of whom has an anchor chained to his domestic poll ratings, to be seen throwing their weight around in the E.U. Blair has been badly damaged by the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; one poll last week put his government's disapproval rating at 77%. Chirac's reforms have...
