amusing ''There is, though, a great paradox in all this. The US administration that prides itself on avoiding the entrapment of nation-building has managed, inadvertently and against its real intentions, to shape the future of one of its most important allies. The US has intervened in European elections plenty of times in the past to help rightwing parties. But this must be the first time in many decades that Washington's efforts have managed to dash the prize from the right's hands and place it in those of a social democrat.'' Martin Kettle |
