David Frum offers his insight on the EU construct and its many problems in this piece @ the National Post (Canada). Here's a peek:
The United States and Europe, and for that matter Canada, Australia and New Zealand, share a common civilization--and share as well a long list of dangerous common enemies. The growing separation between the United States and Europe is a civilization disaster, and the attempt to build Europe into a single state is the disaster's single most important cause. Those European politicians who seek to create a new European identity to replace old national loyalties can succeed only by creating a new transatlantic "other"--a new American rival and antagonist--to lend emotion to their otherwise pallid bureaucratic project.
