The slam-the-French crowd must really have its knickers in a twist over the latest from Jacques Chirac and Tony Blair: a proposal to establish a 1,500-strong force of European peacekeepers that could deploy rapidly.

I can just imagine the shock-tinged questions:

How could the Brits, who championed the U.S.-led intervention in Iraq over Paris' protests, have let the French talk them into this concept?

Does this mean that Britain has returned to the fold of "old" Europe and no longer deserves American trust?

Should we consider adding Britain to the "adversary" list in our war of words and ideas with France?

What business do the Europeans have trying to create certain capabilities that might rival America's?
