...Kerry said he would reserve the right to take unilateral action in defense of the U.S. but that any such action should pass a "global test" to be viewed as legitimate.

Now both institutions must turn to winning the attention and respect of the E.U. electorate at the start of more than a year of referendums on the Constitution. If they can't manage that, Berlusconi's second Rome ceremony will end up as a footnote to a failed Constitution...
