Careful There, Europe...

You'll dislocate a shoulder patting yourself on the back...


"...Until now, the EU's role in the Middle East has largely been limited to providing aid and trying to play the honest broker in the volatile region's many conflicts.

But the Centre for European Reform's foreign policy director, Mark Leonard, said that the presence of a large number of European troops not only reinforced Europe's credibility with regional players, but could also mark the beginning of a new "strategic" role."

The single reason most of the EUrinals are taking ANY steps towards "peace" is to calm their islamic communities by protecting poor Lebanon against the evil Joo.And as far as this "large number" of European troops goes, we're assuming Mr. Leonard converted the actual number into it's metric counterpart. Whatever that might be. 25 countries committing a total of perhaps, perhaps, 10,000 truck drivers, nurses, cooks, radiomen, translators, and negotiators is not even a drop in the bucket to accomplish the task of disarming Hezbollah, but the EUrinals had to do something before Paris started burning again.
