Commentary feature in which he writes critically of the attitides of European governments to the economic and security wishes of US President Obama 'This grudging attitude is not only discourteous. It is unwise and self-defeating. The continent’s leaders have a huge interest in fostering and fanning the new American internationalism represented by Mr Obama. Instead, they seem to be doing their utmost to pour cold water on it'.
