Your article notes that Europeans have learned that the force of arms rarely settles political disputes for long. But it does not note that Europe spreads beyond E.U. borders. The Council of Europe encompasses some 800 million citizens, unified by a vision of human rights. Call it soft power if you like, but it exerts a strong and fruitful influence in every member state, from Russia to Turkey, to Iceland and Italy...
William Silvert, São Brás de Alportel, Portugal One line really struck me - "Washington, which knows that the world remains a dangerous place ..." - and its implication that Europe doesn't know this. Washington didn't even know that the world beyond its borders existed before 9/11. Then it suddenly discovered terrorism and leaped into the lead in fighting this threat. And who happily signed on?

North Americans call Oct. 12 Columbus Day, but Latin Americans call it Dia de la Raza - Day of the Race - a recognition that 1492 began a commingling of primarily Iberian, native American and African blood that in turn produced a new race, sometimes called mestizo. That process was perhaps deepest in Mexico - and because Mexico is the origin country of almost two-thirds...
