with those headers, I'm not sure if this is a German comment or a French one.
Either one could stand for a pretty good crack on their own foreign policy,
or gross lack thereof.  The US is getting stuck with a lot of the dirty work
that no one else will do.  You can complain that its not doing exactly what
you want, but perhaps an active role, one that is not so financially motivated,
would be in order.

(And while I think the French have been useless this year,  I have no 
reluctance to keep buying wine, or cheese.  And I'll keep flying about
as travel time allows)
 
now can we get back to cheese!?
