No idea, but I'm gonna be interested to see what develops out of this Iraq thing. Not the war itself, but the chasm that opened up between US and (most of) Europe. On the surface, politicians of all countries have been trying to play it down since then, but you only have to see the US banning French, German etc. from Iraqi contracts recently to realise that a lot of people got really pissed off, on both sides. This is totally unpredictable. It might be forgotten. It might push Europe closer to an expanded EU including Russia. It might mean mainland Europe eventually becoming federal with a Euro army. No one knows what the long term result of this will be and we *could* be looking back in twenty years time saying this was the beginning of the end of 'such and such' and not realize it now
