So the French people have seen the light...
the failure of the E.U. constitution in France was quite predictible. You canh't take sovreignty from people lightly, and if the governement is so supine as to give it away the people will have their say. Dam did I just write some rap?
The E.U. was never a brilliant idea. From an American point of view the only REAL competition in Europe is Russia, which is after all really a bigger country than we are, and the only people who really know hwat a horizon looks like in Europe.
The French people rejected the E.U. for trivial reasons but reject it they did. It was a stupid fad anyway.
No one who had an ounce of sense really believed in it. It doesn't take much time at all in Europe to realize that the place aws never meant to be 'unified' and that 'unity' isn't the strenght of Europe, diversity is! Leave the sameness to us Americans, we after all mastered it, and it's driveing US kuuku anyway. Europe should capitalize on the fact that there is so much difference between one European country and the next, there is a way to make money off the fact.
I think better of the French actually. Artificial unity always winds up in war. it's stupid to set up the same kind of idiotic interlocking treaties that led to WWI. I was wondering who would be the first to wake up and say no.
I thought it was lame for Ireland to join the E.U., I think it is lame for Croatia to join, and I'm glad the French people woke up.
