Disagreement between Europe and US on Lebanon-Israel conflict
The Lebanon-Israel conflict has been upgraded which shows a signal of the danger of an uncontrolled situation. Regarding this utter misery, the United States and Western Europe have defined different positions towards the cruel war which were particularly noticeable.
Europe believes that the Lebanon-Israel conflict is an extension of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which should be differentiated from "anti-terrorism war" that the United States has been strongly advocating. Second, the mainstream forces of the European countries believe that democracy can not be exported by force. The painful experience of the Iraq war should be an object lesson to everybody. Third, most importantly, despite the twists and turns, the European integration has never been broken off. The EU has shown an increasingly strong and overall aspiration to play a major role in the international arena. As a close neighbor of Lebanon and the Middle East, the EU has been reluctant to allow the United States to continue taking the lead in pursuing its own interests in the region, which obviously includes economic and political interests.
