AMERICANS AREN'T COWBOYS, AND EUROPEANS AREN'T WIMPS, says (OxBlog Oxford bureau neighbour) Timothy Garton Ash, in a new book. Rather, the interests and beliefs of the two are similar. America, due to the way its politics and ethnic mixture developed, was the first European Union. Further, with the rise of China and India, Europe and America may be facing their last chance to set the agenda of world politics, and should do so firmly in favour of freedom. Garton Ash is always worth a read, and even more delectably so because he watches The Simpsons.
