Europe needs an avant-garde for military capabilities
Written by Daniel Keohane, 04 April 2003
Europe has many lessons to learn from the Iraq crisis. Politically, Europe is divided between "old" (those countries that opposed the Iraq war) and "new" (those that supported the war). Europe’s lack of military muscle compared to the Americans was exposed by the short Iraq campaign. The gap in transatlantic military capabilties is even greater now than was the case in Kosovo or Afghanistan.
