Iraq: a very complex and grave situation

The gravity of the situation in Iraq cannot be underestimated. As one should not be blind to the very serious impact it can have in the entire region. President Obama´s approach, as outlined today, is a prudent one. It requires however a greater degree of coordination with the key States in the Middle East.
Unfortunately, it cannot be enhanced by any type of EU action as Europe has lost its capacity to play a critical military role in the region, particularly in the context of a very violent and complex crisis.
