Old Europe's EU: A house diseased by itself cannot stand.
Steven Den Best has written another terrific piece on why the bankrupt ideology upon which the EU is based contain the seeds of its own destruction:The guiding philosphy behind the EU.
In commenting on that piece, Trent Telenko has added to the argument that the EU will implode due to its internal problems with his analysis of the EU's pension problems which he's entitled Kicking the Can: What Den Beste Missed.
I would also add to that an op ed piece by Bat Yeor at Front Page Magazine on the Muslim problem in Old Europe which is called European Fears of the Gathering Jihad--a very sobering piece that explains why the EU diplo snobs like Chirac, Schroeder and DeVillepin act the way they do and it's not because of their "deep concern for world peace," either.
Liberating Iraq may be America's easiest task ahead.
Dealing with the deluded wannabe emperors and future tyrants of Old Europe and the social problems their ambitions create--as ever, it seems--threatens to occupy us for decades.
