1. A tough balance act

Zapatero can't afford to give in to impulsive coldness towards Bush; Bush can't afford to put Zapatero in the Old Europe camp, either.

Zapatero now will focus primarily on Britain, and through Germany on Poland. By the time the EU formulates its self-confident counter-terrorism doctrine, Kerry will be in the White House.

In the meantime, there's no place for unnecessarily scorching Earth.

It would be helpful if, in the meantime, the US nationalists as seen on Fox News get slapped around a bit for their ignorant hatebaiting.
