Is this a threat, or a promise? Either works for me!

This could be a "positive solution", said M Chirac. "I am not against the idea of using methods of friendly persuasion with countries that are refusing the constitution, because that blocks all the others."
How about a real federal constitution, with accountability, seperation of powers, checks and balances, and recognition of fundamental individual rights?

Britain could be forced to leave the European Union if its voters reject the proposed new constitution in a referendum, President Chirac suggested today.Whats the downside?

The use of these two words in the same sentence just makes me laugh.

"I am not against the idea of using methods of friendly persuasion with countries that are refusing the constitution, because that blocks all the others."Then why have the vote? Just put out an edict and if they like it they can accept - if not then they can leave.

Britians sovereignty depends on them staying out of the EU. For the life of me, I can not imagine why any nation would allow some unelected bureaucRats in Brussels to dictate anything to them.

Made in answer to a question about Britain, M Chirac's remarks reflected his exasperation over Tony Blair's decision to put the constitution to a risky plebiscite. Imagine the nerve of it. Letting the people decide in a "risky" plebiscite
The President said that he was confident that the constitution would be settled by leaders in June.
That's more like it. Let the leaders decide. Can't have the great unwashed deciding their own futures. And the French think America is arrogant.

M Chirac's remarks reflected his exasperation over Tony Blair's decision to put the constitution to a risky plebiscite Oh, sure. We can't have the people voting on whether or not to give up the sovereignty of their coutries' to a bunch of jackals who have no accountability. The European Union is exactly what Hitler had in mind in 1938. Imagine: a whole continent of slaves.

When one considers the Franco-centric nature of the EU, one wonders why it is not called the French Union -- or simply, the FU.

I'd love to rename France and Germany into a single entity.
That is, they are already basically one country, and I'm tired of saying "France and Germany".
I've been thinking of a few possibilities:
(1) Franken-nazis (2) Frenchy-deutsch (3) Franken-Krautland (4) Euro-dorkia

These euros kontinue to krack me up.
US Q1-04 GDP just came in at 4.2%. Eurozone countries aren't even sniffin' close to this number.
All these socialistic Europeans want to do is hold hands and assume that by holding hands things will get better and they will get more competitive with the rest of the world. Read some of the articles - these Euros actually have economic and business plans in place to be competitive with the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! It's a riot, it really is.

The best thing the Brits could do is get out of the EU to avoid loosing their identity and their freedoms.
They should get together with NEW EUROPE and form a union of the free and willing and dump the cowardly French, Germans and tell Brussels to go fly a kite.
