Malign malentendus
Article Abstract:
The mistrust developing between the US and France is worsening more than ever. The mistrust is evident at the July 8th summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in Madrid, Spain. The US has rejected several French proposals including the inclusion of Romania and Slovania in NATO. The US should realize the importance of France to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and to its military alliance. France, however, should try to swallow its pride and ooperate for the betterment of the alliance. Also, the US should develop the habit of consulting with its allies regarding international issues.

Malign malentendus: rows between France and America are damaging NATO
Article Abstract:
French Pres Jacques Chirac has decided not to re-join NATO as he had planned because the US refused to allow a European rather than an American to run NATO's southern command. This decision weakens NATO. France should compromise and the US should recognize France as a serious military power and ally.
