If this issue is of no importance to France, why bother calling other countries infantile for expressing support (or whatever you care to call it) for the US?Originally posted by paiktis22

You are kidding yourself. Each country has given up the same amount of national sovereignity to the suprnational institutions.
And that's not about their sovereignity. It's just the US asking for a letter and them giving it without thinking it through.Comment

you. No more Greek culture, you'll be franco-ized
The letter cost them nothing, their approval means
nothing. If they're not a G8 country or China who cares
what they think, which is most of the EU.
The US is grasping at straws.Comment

I am sure that they thought it through; most of them are former mmbers of the Warsaw Pact and are enjoying having free speech
The Greeks are just annoyed, because no-one even asked if they wanted to sign"An Outside Context Problem was the sort of thing most civilisations encountered just once, and which they tended to encounter rather in the same way a sentence encountered a full stop" - ExcessionComment

Greece: EU has 'mandate' to seek peace in Iraq
Wed Feb 19,10:45 AM ET
ATHENS, Greece - European Union (news - web sites) president Greece said Wednesday it had a "mandate" to seek peace in Iraq after European leaders set aside their strong differences on the crisis.
"Our conviction remains that war is not unavoidable," said Foreign Minister George Papandreou, who spoke on the telephone Wednesday with U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites).
"We have a mandate as the presidency to take the necessary initiatives," he said. "We will continue close cooperation with Arab countries and ... of course with the Americans."
EU countries and candidates have been deeply divided over their support for the United States and its plans for possible military action in Iraq.
But Greece claimed diplomatic victory on Monday when EU leaders at an emergency summit in Brussels, Belgium, issued a joint statement on Iraq — in the first such sign of solidarity since the crisis began. Greece holds the EU presidency until the end of June.
Papandreou suggested the United States was willing to give U.N. weapons inspectors more time in Iraq, while more Europeans now accepted that force could eventually be used.
"The thinking is that the inspectors must have the sufficient time and means — but not an indefinite amount of time — to do their job," Papandreou said.
He made the remarks after talks with Norway's Foreign Minister Jan Petersen, who expressed support for Greece's diplomatic efforts.
Petersen also claimed there is growing support among Norwegians for his country to join the EU.
"Opinion polls strongly suggest we now have a majority in favor of joining the union," he said, adding that no application could not be submitted before 2005.
Norwegians narrowly rejected EU membership in national referendums in 1972 and 1994.

I haven't seen that reported. Do you have a cite?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat.

There is no site for that since the US will never accept it asked for it.
Yet, it is so obvious it hurts the eyes.
It's funny that you make such a fuzz about a letter though.Comment
