Very quietly but very clearly, the big international
business bosses and their friends in the academic and media worlds here in the
EU have been sending the message that a major security crisis in the Middle
East at this time, when the European economies are starting a timid recovery, would
be an extremely bad idea. It is not just the vast and uncontrollable uncertainty
that it will create, not just the impact on oil prices, not just the fact that
existing crisis around the Suez Canal is threatening enough, to mention only a
few of current hot spots. It is all that combined plus the fact that some of
the Middle East countries remain major clients and investors in the EU
economies. It is no time to destabilize them, as well. International commerce
does not want any adventure at this moment.
