As is so often the case, Europeans are searching for an ever elusive unity. This time the problem is mainly economic. The Common Market, in this testing economic crisis, is fraying at the seams and losing its precarious unity.

The USA, in election year, treads carefully, anxious to see an upturn in trade and a down-turn in responsibility abroad. Israel, therefore is emboldened to take over the task of pressuring Iran.
