Obviously written by a proud metrosexual.
The question is will the John-John ticket, which has shunned using the L-word to describe themselves, instead embrace the equally appropriate label "metrosexual"?

Hey I'm just glad that someone besides us ins ponying up to pay for the third world countries. If this is the new Europe, I'm all for it.

"Spreading peace across Eurasia serves U.S. interests, but it's best done by donning Armani pinstripes rather than U.S. Army fatigues."Obviously written by a Euroweenie. If not for those US Army BDUs, this pickle kissing POS would be living a far different life today. "Metrosexuals" can go and f_ck themselves - because around here the women would all assume they were gay anyway. How does that Armani pinstripe feel out here in the field busting hay, fag boy??? The author and his ilk need to get real jobs - the kind that men have.

Sorry - I forgot to bust him on the fact that he specializes in "GLOBAL GOVERNANCE", aka The NWO. (And here I thought I hated this loser before reading the last line of the article!)
Thanks TC for getting my blood pressure up this early.

Even without a centralized military command structure, the EU has recently led military operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Macedonia, Pathetically small ones
and it will increase troop deployments to support German and British forces in stabilizing Afghanistan.
Increasing from a very low level to a higher, but still very low level
European countries already provide 10 times more peacekeepers to U.N. operations than the United States.
"Peacekeeping' is largely done by countries like Ireland, and isn't exactly evidence of a healthy military
In late 2004, the EU will take over all peacekeeping and policing operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina from NATO,
Finally!
and Europe's 60,000-troop Rapid Reaction Force will soon be ready to deploy around the world.
How soon is soon? At the moment, they're late, and short of men and materiel.

The EU had such high hopes of becoming an economic and military superpower. Instead they've become a mediocre economic block with no relevance on the world stage.
Unless their french-looking candidate running for office in the U.S. gets elected and turns our military and foreign policy over to the U.N., the EU will continue to have little say in world affairs.

I would title this:
"All Dressed Up and Looking for Someone to Surrrender to"
or
"Those White Sheets on My Bed Aren't Just for Sleeping on"

"Those White Sheets on My Bed Aren't Just for Sleeping on" Sorry, the Euros can't use that. Senator Byrd already has it trademarked.

I can just see OBL dressed up in an Armani pinstripe suit carrying a purse, the only way these Metro people will wake up is when OBL drops a bomb in their neighborhood. Terrorist attacks seem to change lib/rat thinking at least for a while, what idiots.

Metrosexuals may spend a long time standing in front of the mirror, but they never shop alone. Stripping off stale national sovereignty (that's so last century), Europeans now parade their pooled power, the new look for this geopolitical season.Tower of Babel, anyone?
This Khanna guy is such a fag.

Only problem: the alleged EU "metrosexual" is actually an all-out flaming fairy with AIDS.

Parag Khanna, author of this piece, is clearly a metrosexual name: it seems to lack gender, at least in the English-speaking world.
To: True Capitalist
Europeans excel at human intelligence, which requires expert linguists and cultural awareness.
I guess the implication of this is that America does not excel at these things? Interesting.
French espionage agencies have reportedly infiltrated al Qaeda cells,
Infiltrated the cells to assist al Qaeda or the United States?
Indeed, U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's New Europe is already passé, shorter lived than the bellbottom revival.
Not for me. I avoid purchasing products created within "old Europe" and I plan to visit "new Europe" countries (including our ally Italy) next summer.
Just as metrosexuals are redefining masculinity,
Riggghhhhtttt.
