OZNAČUJE TE TISTO, KAR STORIŠ was a wake up call, but why have not more Europeans gotten out of bed The first reason for this short-lived emotion is that 9/11, even when perceived as an attack on the entire Western world, happened on US soil. Second, there is a widespread refusal in Europe, after its turbulent history of the previous century, to admit that European territory might again be vulnerable to serious threats. Lastly, European leaders were and are still reluctant to frighten their populations or to strain relations with the Muslim minorities living in Europe. 21 Many Europeans prefer to appease radicals or tend to dismiss any criticism of the Islam as Islamophobia, paranoia or prejudice. This attitude could be explained by Europe’s fear of its exploding Muslim population; by Europe’s assessing the post-9/11 world as an opportune time to make economic inroads into the Middle East; by Europe’s inability to shoulder security burdens; or by Europe’s ignorance, intentional or otherwise, of the threat. One of Europe’s leaders, Ana Palacio of Spain summed it up best: “Today, Europeans don’t have the perception of a common threat, just a diffuse concern about globalization and declining levels of welfare.” 22 While 9/11 did not distress Europe as it did the US, 7/7 and its follow on attacks, sanguinely might be incrementally changing European thinking. C O N C L U S I O N A nation cannot pursue most security objectives in international relations without both the ability and will to project force. Furthermore, a nation cannot presume to participate in the international security arena without this capability to generate force. In a recent editorial entitled, “What Alliance” the editor of the Wall Street Journal noted, “A more honest explanation (of this European incapacity) is that America’s security umbrella has allowed Europeans to underfund (sic) their military services to the point that even if there were a trans-Atlantic consensus, they would have little to offer.” 23 For the trans-Atlantic relationship to become healthy, this must change. The West has probably entered the second phase of this war on terrorists. The first phase was “fire against fire;” however, we are gradually shifting to “idea against 21 Op. cit. 22 Bennhold, Katrin.

Fortunately, men and women on both sides of the Atlantic endure who understand the magnitude of today’s terrorist threat and who labor to mend our trans-Atlantic relationship. They comprehend the former Spanish Prime Minister Azar’s warning that “…terrorism is a global phenomenon, one that crosses borders. And it gains in strength when we think that it is the problem of “others” and should be taken care of by “others.” 24 Collectively, we must resist our Western “fast food” mentality that demands instant gratification. Together, we must exercise patience, persistence, presence and precision. To paraphrase a former SACEUR, when combating terrorism, an ethereal or virtual presence is an “actual absence”. Decades will be needed to assist the community of Islam to draw militant Islamists, disciples of Bin Ladenism, back from their apostasy. For the trans-Atlantic relations to return to a healthy condition, its current rosy public relations image must reflect reality. It’s what you do that defines you. 24 Aznar, Jose Maria, “The Truth About 3/11.” Wall Street Journal , Wednesday, March 24, 2004 12:01 a.m. EST http://opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.htmlid=110004860. 29
