He's got the world seeing stars -- EU stars. Before Javier Solana came along, as far as the world was concerned, the EU was nothing more than a large trading bloc. Today, the EU is a powerful political union that's ever more making its name known.

It's almost funny watching the world's diplomats sizing up the situation in the Middle East. They remind me of the world's media. The only difference is, when a crisis breaks out, instead of wanting to be first on the scene to report the crisis, diplomats want to be first to settle it.

This brings us to one reason the world is seeing stars. Not only does the EU's Solana want to be the one who settles the current Middle East crisis, he's already first on the scene. While the world's other diplomats were trying to figure out how to respond, Solana was responding.

I saw one report saying what the world needs is another Henry Kissinger. At the same time, Former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres was saying the only way a lasting peace could be reached in the Middle East is if the world would start speaking with one voice. He was referring to the world's ongoing standoff with Iran, which Peres believes is ultimately responsible for the current Middle East crisis.

Today UN Secretary General Kofi Annan addressed the world about the need to send strong international forces into the Middle East. I suspect Annan's idea wasn't only Annan's. In fact, Annan's UN doesn't even have strong forces to send. But, the EU does. Since taking his post back in 1999, Solana has been preparing the EU to be able to meet just such a crisis as we now have in the Middle East. That's why I've spent so much time documenting Solana's activities. The Bible indicates that, in the end-time, the geo-political realities that we now see before us in the world would arise.

So, it's not hard for me to understand why Solana may have Kofi Annan seeing stars Read about it here. And, from the way things look, Solana may have Israel seeing some of those star too Read about it  I  And here. Of course, we can't leave out the Palestinians Read about it here.

That leaves one important key player that may still need stars. You know, that may no longer be a concern. I almost forgot that picture of Solana with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

He's got the world seeing stars.
