The New Transatlantic Project"Ultimately, Europeans, precisely because they share our values, are likely to be the most dependable allies we have..." An attempt at exploring (no, overcoming) the US-Europe divide by Ronald Asmus (Council of Foreign Relations) and Kenneth Pollack (Brookings Institution) in the Hoover Institution's latest Policy Review. Anyone taken by prior discussion re Robert Kagan's "Power and Weakness" in prior Policy Review should find this worth a read.

It was just a one sentence aside, but Robert Kaplan wrote in a book that the United States and Russia may become much tighter allies to offset a growing European dominance. Made me think a little bit.
