So, even more, is the dream of a separate European defence industry structure. Finally the Europeans who mutter against the National Missile Defence project will have to adjust to the fact of its development - and to the necessity of full European involvement. It is no accident that Russia's Vladimir Putin is against NMD and for the Rapid reaction Force.

Yet somehow the change of approach has to be engineered.
Someone has to take the lead.
