Assuming the E.U. continues as is, they will vote as a bloc inside it, begin to integrate in foreign affairs, justice and taxation, and start to isolate the refuseniks - who would deploy their remaining vetoes in a climate of growing acrimony. That would be a Europe not just of two speeds but a whole gearbox, including reverse. Whether that would be such a bad thing depends, of course, on what you expect of the E.U.

But even as the military sought a truce late last week--and Governing Council members started talks with al-Sadr--insurgents had expanded their tactics of terror, seizing, according to a masked spokes-man, as many as 30 non-Iraqi hostages. As the U.S. scrambled to find and deploy sufficient troops to suppress the metastasizing revolt, there was grim talk that, in the words of Larry Diamond, a former senior adviser to the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), "the second Iraq war" had begun...
