What does neutrality mean now? If we are to judge from the events of the past three or four months, it basically means that we are pro-American, that we are on the Atlanticist side of the argument, that with a nod and wink we will give logistical support to international adventurism on the part of the United States and that, if needs be, we will go along with the creation of a European foreign defence policy in coming years. There is clearly an argument in Europe between those who hold the views and values of "old Europe" and those who hold views and values of the "new Europe", as characterised by the US Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld. In my opinion, we are on the wrong side of that argument.
