Writing in The Guardian, Jonathan Steele argues that it is
time to terminate NATO. The alliance was useful during the Cold War when Europe was threatened with Soviet invasion, but it is now past its use-by date; all it does is provide a lever by which the US can bully Europe into backing its imperial ambitions, while standing in the way of any attempt to build an independent European military.
While at the moment it is just talk, expect concrete action if Bush decides to invade Iran.
Bush's re-election is creating lasting problems for America's interests - and this is just in the first week!
