Synopsis
As foreign ministers gather in Brussels to discuss the next steps towards political union, Panorama examines the impact of the Gulf crisis on Europe. There's been bitter criticism in Britain of some European countries for their lack of support for the war effort, while Europeans have said that Britain is more interested in its 'special relationship' with the USA than in closer co-operation with the Continent. Has the Gulf crisis proved that political union is simply impossible - or shown that it's needed now more than ever?
