Just picked up Thatcher's new book "Statecraft" at the library. She slides in the knife without the victim feeling a thing:

"What we should grasp, however, from the lessons of European history is that, first, there is nothing necessarily benevolent about programmes of European integration; second,the desire to achieve grand utopian plans often poses a grave threat to freedom;and third, European unity has been tried before, and the outcome was far from happy."

Bush is on his way to Moscow for a 3 day stay. He was overnight only in Germany.

I believe President Bush has shown the Europeans that they are now "flyover country."
