We do have a conflict in Europe with the French and their allies the Germans. Its not shooting, and probably won't get there in the foreseeable future, but the situation bears watching. We do have an enemy in Europe east of Poland, Czech Republic, and the Baltics. Its an old enemy which is currently wearing something other than a red suit, but its soul is red. This one needs to be watched constantly and up close.
There is no conflict between the US and Germany/France. France is not liked by the Bush administration, granted, and Chirac is a lame duck. But Chancellor Merkel - who has been in favor of the Iraq war when she was the opposition leader - is a leading figure in Europe, and President Bush knows that. He´ll meet with her this week in her election district at the Baltic Sea. Would you do that with your enemy? Germany is a strategic partner for the US, and important bases are kept here. So, make no mistake.
