I hope the Brits pay attention to this. Once in the EU I have a feeling there will be no escape.

Best *ping* list on FreeRepublic.

As always, thank you.

Poles, Estonians, Slovaks, etc are not to keen to speak either French or German, especially given the unlikelihood of French or Germans speaking their language.

Poles, Estonians, and Slovaks are also not too keen to speak German because the Germans recently tried very hard to make their lands part of Germany!

the "new, improved,centralized" Europe will be headed for massive civil unrest and possibly, a new "set" of regional conflicts.

I've been saying just this for a couple years now. Lefties claim that Europe is far too civilizeed now for a general continental war to ever break out again.

They forget that they said the same thing in 1911. And after that, into the 1920's, they said the example of the Great War would keep them from ever having such a horrible thing happen again.

Now ... they have nukes.

Hopefully they'll come to their senses and reject Blair's insanity!

And where are my manners? Thanks for an unadulterated Steyn Pokey!

[Watery Tart]

Thanks again for the ping, Pokey.

I sure hope we aren't the only ones listening to Steyn.

I would highly encourage all of the non-franco-german-belgian countries in the EU to demand a clear, defined way out of the EU, and one that only the nation itself, not the whole of the EU, has to agree with. If it is a voluntary club that one can voluntarily leave, bloodshed can be avoided. If not, they will face a civil war bloodier than all except perhaps the Chinese civil war. The ESSR will fail, the question is whether that failure will be bloody.
