Because al-Qaeda's strategy relies partly on using European nationals to carry out attacks against the United States, the rise of Islamist terrorism in Britain and Europe poses a serious danger to the U.S. and its allies in Europe and around the world. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Europe/bg2329.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Ted R. Bromund, Ph.D and Morgan L. Roach Europe/NATO Fri, 23 Oct 2009 14:27:03 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/Europe/bg2329.cfm While German-American relations have improved in tone from the thinly veiled hostility of Gerhard Schroeder's chancellorship, all is not perfect between recently re-elected Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Obama. German troops in Afghanistan sit on the sidelines while American and British soldiers fight and die; Germany actively pursues trade with Iran, opposing tougher sanctions on the terror regime; Berlin and Moscow are becoming disconcertingly cozy; and Merkel supports a separate EU defense force at the expense of Germany's NATO commitments. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Europe/bg2330.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Sally McNamara Europe/NATO Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:33:57 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/Europe/bg2330.cfm Joe Biden should use his foreign trip to put pressure on the Administration to open the Visa Waiver Program to America's Eastern European allies. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Europe/wm2658.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Helle C.

Were we to lose, it would be a shot in the arm for every jihadist, would signal that we did not have the moral fortitude to see through what we believe to be a national security emergency, and would suggest that NATO did not have what it takes to meet its first great challenge since the end of the Cold War. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Europe/hl1136.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Dr. Liam Fox, MP Europe/NATO Wed, 30 Sep 2009 17:40:21 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/Europe/hl1136.cfm On the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, there are valuable lessons the West can learn from the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Europe/wm2631.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Ted R. Bromund, Ph.D. Europe/NATO Mon, 28 Sep 2009 11:05:16 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/Europe/wm2631.cfm At NATO's 60th anniversary summit in Strasbourg-Kehl this past April, the alliance appointed former Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen to succeed Jaap de Hoop Scheffer as secretary general.

Bromund, Ph.D. Europe/NATO Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:25:03 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/Europe/wm2483.cfm The disenchantment of the electorate with the European project was demonstrated through non-participation in the 2009 European elections and the elevation of parties opposed to further European integration. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Europe/wm2474.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Sally McNamara Europe/NATO Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:05:57 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/Europe/wm2474.cfm
