Article considers the first meeting of NATO defence ministers in France since 1967. Ministers, meeting in Nice on 10 February 2005, were expected to discuss America's desire for a greater NATO role in Iraq with every member country participating in a training mission. This is a sensitive issue and France has refused to allow its senior officers assigned to NATO to take part in the Iraq mission.
