What on earth is the creature with the tragic face in your top pic? I'd really like to know, but since that might make this page appear to have posts in a logical sequence I'm going to stick into this space a completely unrelated excerpt from an article in the new Foreign Affairs magazine.
Quote:
Ideally, but perhaps not realistically, Merkel should return to previous German form and spearhead a revision of the Maastricht Treaty, leading a fresh effort to do for political union what Kohl and Mitterrand did for monetary union.
The unlikelihood of such a move exemplifies a fundamental problem within the whole European Union: there exists a built-in tension between the lofty goals of integration and member states' collective unpreparedness to think through the consequences of their ambitious project. The great achievement of the past has been to reconcile these contradictory impulses by focusing on practical agreements. It is time to do so once again and realize that the necessary consequence of monetary union is greater political union.
