After several years in deep crisis, relations between the United States & Europe, especially France, saw significant improvement in 2005. There is no underlying reason for the supposed vision of two diametrically opposed world views, a viewpoint promoted on both sides of the Atlantic. But the rapprochement of the two camps is still tenuous. New breaks have appeared because of internal factors (an increasingly divided America, an increasingly politically fragmented Europe), the advent of forces such as Islamic fundamentalism, emerging powers, or, quite simply, anarchy & uncontrolled violence. Whether in the Middle East, Iran or the Balkans, all of these nascent seats of violence carry the seeds of more disagreements to come. Adapted from the source document.
