The Am erica n pane list repeated his concern that, even if there is no hiddenEuropea n agenda, a consequ ence of cer tain Eu ropean actions is to increase thesep aration in th e poli tical consciousness of the US and Europe. For example, theprevail ing view in American fore ign policy circles is that the French want to exclude theUS from major decisions and relega te it to a reserve position. O f course changes mustoccur in the American point of view, too. Amer icans must aba ndon the idea th at it is thero le of the US to define what the common set of in te rests and goals is. We have to getused to opera ting in an int ernat ional system in which a consensus emerges ou t of amultiplici ty of interests.
The At lanti c commun ity must accept that there are thr eats wh!ch are variable andunde fin eable, but nonetheless ve ry rea l, an d we must create structures than can de al withthem. To do that, we need some sort of political framework in which to reconcile theassessment of these threat s before a crisis arises. In the past, the US and its allies haveused military integration as a substitu te for long-range po li tical thinking. TIJC securitythreat was so real and so closely tied to the po litical threa t that we did not have todistinguish betwee n the two. TI1e challenge on bot h sides of the Atlantic now is tochang e this way of thin king and ope rating.
