Not only would it add to anti-American attitudes and fail to accomplish its objectives, but it over-estimates the extent to which the new Europe is being formed in opposition to the US. Whatever the rhetoric in France, for example, the policies and attitudes in countries such as Britain or Poland demonstrate that good trans-Atlantic relations can be maintained.
这样的政策变化将犯下严重的错误。它不仅助长反美情绪，达不到既定目标，还过高估计了新欧洲形成给美国带来的威胁。无论法国怎样慷慨陈辞，英国或波兰等国的态度依然表明：良好的泛大西洋关系能够维持下去。如果一定要说影响，那么最近欧洲的东扩将削减而非助长美欧分裂的危险。
