Still, more needs to be done. Europe is not an island, and even judged by the narrowest tests of self-interest, it has an abiding need to ensure that its neighbors can savor the same peace and prosperity that Europeans now enjoy. From that logic of geography should flow two pressing priorities of European strategic policy: closer engagement with Russia and with Turkey. Both nations feel aggrieved at their treatment by Europe, Russia because (in breach of promises made in the early 1990s) NATO was extended not just to the borders of the old Soviet Union but actually inside them...
...When the black majority took over in 1994, however, it was instantly reduced by the press to a Third World country, although the economy performed better than before. So the designation seems to depend more on the skin color of a country's rulers than anything else. Following this logic, America has now, by the election of a black President, changed her status to that of a Third World country. I have no doubt that the developing world will gladly welcome the U.S. as its new leader. Frederick C. Roberts, FAERIE GLEN, SOUTH AFRICA

And while he thinks Sarkozy's efforts to raise expectations about what the summit can achieve are misguided, Miller does see a logic to meeting to discuss the crisis...
...relentless gratuitousness of 2666 has its own logic and its own power, which builds into something overwhelming that hits you all the harder because you don't see it coming. This is a dangerous book, and you can get lost in it. How can art, Bolaño is asking, a medium of form and meaning, reflect a world that is blessed with neither? That is in fact a cesspool of chance and filth? In Part 2 of 2666 the philosophy professor, whose name is Amalfitano, recreates one of Marcel Duchamp's ready-made artworks: he hangs up a geometry...
