"It would be great indeed if the EU could act as a balance to the world's only true superpower, which acts alone these days."

This incantation of a leftie shibboleth ruins his credibility IMO.

I don't find credility to be either a rightie or a leftie thing. Years of crap being fed to us by CNN is now being matched bucket for bucket by crap being fed to us by Fox.

I'm also not opposed to a balance of power and neither were our founding fathers. One of the great successes of the US is our balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary branches.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
