European "leaders" sent a six page letter to President Elect Obama basically calling on him to play ball the European way and agree to turn the levers of American power over to others. All the high-minded post-modern verbiage about global solutions to global problems included in that document is the eurospeak way of saying that Europeans want a final say in how American power is exercised. It is what Europeans mean when they use the words "multilateralism" and "globalism.".
Will President Obama concede where President Bush did not? Will he pass his first global test? It's impossible to know until Obama moves into the White House. But the stakes are far higher than many Americans may realize.
