Who Speaks for Europe?(French political activities relating to Iraq)
Once again, there were the ghosts of war. As George Bush and Tony Blair met on a mountaintop outside Washington to assess the conflict in Iraq- -and chart a post-Saddam future--they must have been mindful of Roosevelt and Churchill, who also met at Camp David to make fateful decisions in wartime.
Meanwhile, in Paris, President Jacques Chirac planted himself behind Charles de Gaulle's old desk at the Elysee Palace. Like his hero, he too sat in defiant isolation--opposed to the war, opposed to the Iraq reconstruction schemes that Blair and his friend Bush were cooking up and opposed most of all to the prospect of a new world order dominated by the United States.
