I can't keep up with the guy. The last I knew Javier Solana was in Africa overseeing the deployment of his EU peacekeepers in the Congo. Now he's in the United States seeking new Security Council resolutions -- one for his Congo deployment, and another for a possible Iraqi deployment (Read about it here)  (And here).

It was only last month Solana delivered his new, 10-page security doctrine to the EU heads at their summit in Greece. His doctrine was titled, A Secure Europe in a Better World. And, like I've noted before, it's already being implemented.

By way of reminder, Solana's doctrine has three basic parts. First, it calls for the EU to contribute more resources to establishing economic and political stability in their neighborhood. Second, it calls on the EU to build an international order. And third, it calls for the EU to strengthen its civil and military capacity to deal with the threat of weapons of mass destruction and rogue states.

Yes, Solana's secure Europe and better world may have begun.

And, I still find it hard to believe it started when the 10-nation Western European Union adopted its Assembly Recommendation 666.

Stay tuned.
