    An Elective Partnership: Salvaging Transatlantic Relations 113 An Elective Partnership: Salvaging Transatlantic Relations ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ James B. Steinberg When the United States and Britain finally abandoned their efforts to gain Security Council approval for military intervention in Iraq, their leading officials made clear who, in their eyes, was to blame – not Russia, not China, but a NATO ally, France.1 The harsh words were a culmination of six of the most challenging months in the history of the NATO alliance – beginning with Vice-President Cheney’s speech suggesting that the US might use force unilaterally to disarm Iraq and Chancellor Schröder’s decision, in the waning days of the German election, to stake his future on outright opposition to any form of military action against Iraq. Although the unanimous adoption of Resolution 1441 in November 2002 seemed to offer a way out of the deepening rift, by January it was clear that the Alliance was facing its greatest crisis since Suez in 1956. US Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld likened Germany to Libya and Cuba for its lack of support and German Foreign Minister angrily retorted with a blunt ‘I am not convinced’ at the NATO annual security-policy gathering in Munich. Of course, there were divisions among European governments as well – eight EU members signed a letter to the Wall Street Journal offering support to the United States (pointedly excluding Germany, France and Belgium) and Prime Ministers Tony Blair and José Maria Aznar stood side by side with President George W. Bush on the eve of the war. But European publics were united – in every European NATO country, in the ‘new’ Europe as well as the ‘old’, huge majorities opposed the war and what appeared to be the most dramatic instance in series of provocative ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ James B.

Thirteen chapters consider the status cf American womenfrom 1776 to the present: women in the Departmentand at international conferences, 1800-1940; applicants and employees for overseaseuplcyment, 1851-1943: the Foreign Service examinations; theimpact of war on employing women; the postwar,pericd,1949-1970: and the present and future role of women in the Department of State. In summary,it was not until the Civi) War that the governmentbegan to hire women in full-time positions. Although men and women inthe Department of State received equal pay for equal work, men werepromoted more quickly than women. For the first 35 yearsall women in the Department filled clerical jots: in 1 909the first uoman Was appointed to a semiprofessional position.
