occasion to post some entries that appeared during the past 10 days, which I found particularly relevant in a European perspective.
Starting with 'nuclear debate' following the sad events in Japan. EUWeekly (one of the posts necessary to continue the present continental) reminds us in his post ' Sortir du nucléaire, pour aller où? 'the need for' timed 'strategy to end the nuclear power source. One may have the potential 'desire' political and based on a very visceral and rational debate between the benefits and risks "of wanting to dispense with such an energy source, but this approach requires a 'realistic' target, starting to recognize that we need a strategy for the medium and long term. The elimination of nuclear plants without a strategy efficient and viable replacement would not get us very far. The policy plan should keep pace with the economic bet by investors in alternative sources and greater encouragement to research. Not all renewable offer a way for example (we would need only 'a few' million solar panels to produce energy from a single reactor, "Par quoi Remplacer Nucléaire you? '...). Without money and without alternatives to defend nuclear power is illusory, and even can lead to counterproductive situations.
precisely this lack of 'distance' is what Jean Quatremer criticizes Angela Merkel: ' Angela Merkel, the Chancelière nucléaire ' . A policy that has shown in earlier situations of being too 'slope' of public opinion when making policy decisions ' Libya: l'honneur perdu d'Angela Merkel ' (or, Kosmopolita ' German Diplomacy on Libya: a quick-and very good - Explanation' ). Trend which seems to have joined President Sarkozy at the gates of the cantonal elections (Exaps' star Sarkozy ', Le Monde' Libya: Monsieur Sarkozy joue avec le feu '). The truth is that 'haste' with which Sarkozy was quick to lead the military intervention in Libya, always a step ahead of multilateral summits should 'check' the pace and narrative of the intervention is somewhat outrageous. And if we remember the attitude that the French government remained for over two months in relation to the Arab revolution. The President's political obscenity Gallo does nothing to lower the possible force that leads to action told from multilateralism, international law, discretion, and above all humility (Bruxelles2 ' La méthode Sarkozy in Europe will mark pas. La France ne pas au Sommet convainc '). There is no single reason to be proud of having to act militarily in the XXI century (however necessary it may be) ...
A hug!
