This whole exercise in futility is just an excuse to prop up the useless fat parasite pigs in Brussels. They get to screw around for years to come, now.

Those fat parasite pigs in Brussels don't get to lay down their elitist law to all of Europe - yet. It's definitely a set-back for now for the bureaucratic elites.

I have no idea. I liked all those currencies they used to have, and trying to figure out "Now how much is this worth in REAL money?";)

"Americans, Chinese and Indians, vying for advantage in an interdependent world, will be able to get their way more easily if Europeans are in disarray."

There's no "If" about it. Europeans are in disarry, and the reason is a Decadence, championed by Leftists, that has infected Europe like the Black Plague and threatens to be far more devastating and catastrophic if not checked. Europe survived the waves of Plague. It will not survive Leftist Decadence if Europeans do not wake up in time to save themselves from it.

A person like that has lots of people in powerful positions feeding him inside information daily, so he's always ahead of the common person with knowledge.

They just get around it by never admitting it or allowing evidence that could convict them.

The Europeans are just as angry about immigration as we are, correction, as U.S. citizens are.

This article alludes to that, although I read a little blurb in a European article last week that explained why the average Frog didn't like this constitution (isn't it odd that so many European fish-wraps fussed about the Frog 'non' vote and what it meant to the EU rather than why the Frogs didn't like the constitution?). Anyway, it seems that the Frogs like their social bennies--job security, 2,3,4 months of vacation a year, pensions, etc. This new constitution threatened the womb-to-tomb blankie that the Frogs have come to rely on and that's why they said, 'non'.

And the reason the EU bureaucrats want to kill their citizen's beloved nurse maid? They want to be able to compete in the "global market", i.e. beat the US at its own game. They know that they can't compete with any other nation as long as their citizens have gold-plated social programs.

That was my first thought at seeing the headline. But then I check the source. The Guardian.

It's impossible to get facts, reality, truth, honesty, elephants, 757s, locomotives, etc, passed that news crew.

So the French want to keep their socialist "utopia."

Anyway, it weakens Chirac greatly. With Schroeder going down this fall and Chirac on the way out, it looks like Bush will outlast both of them.
