First the EU failed to ratify a constitution. Second, after weeks and weeks, the Germans have failed to form a new government. Now, France is in flames and its government seems incapable of mounting any meaningful response. YES: the "Old Orders" in France and Germany are in tatters - and France and Germany were the heart of the Old EU. They led the EU - but now: NONE of the other EU nations will give a hoot what France and Germany (the two largest economies in the EU) have to say.
YUP: These three events have killed the EU. The EU is DEAD.
SO: WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
Germany can and MUST form a new solidly right-of-center government, and the sooner the better. France must do the same ASAP, too! But Chirac's term goes until 2007, and Germany is dithering, seemingly unable to form any coalition government after a tight election.
HOW IS THIS TO BE DONE?
To best accomplish new leadership for the heart of continental Europe, Germany and France should call elections ASAP: France could do this if Chirac resigned. He should; he's been an abysmal failure. Germany could do this if the major parties agree that no one can form a government - which seems obvious; (BTW: this is due to the squabbles on the vestigial Left!).
Elections held in the current atmosphere (which has exposed the utter bankruptcy of decades of well-intentioned but totally misguided socialist policies), right-of-center parties would do better than ever. This turnover will be good for Europe: the continent has needed a Thatcherian Revolution for a long long time.
After this turnover, the other nations of the EU WILL pay attention to what France and Germany have to say, and with their right-of-center leadeship a NEW EU - based on Thatcherian priciples, and led by Blair, Merkel, and Sarkozy - would come into being! This new EU might be capable of PASSING a constitution, and OF FIGHTING ISLAMISM - AT HOME AND ABROAD.
[IRONIC ASIDE: Both Bush nemeses - Schroeder and Chirac - are, for all intents and purposes, KAPUT! Good riddance.]

its been dead for years....
Isn't it interesting how all of Bush's nemesis go down, and all his frinds are reelected? It's almost as if their is a plot created by a neocon cabal.
;-)
Anyway, in the latest photos I have seen, Chiraq has the look of a man who knows it's time to go.
Let's hope he gives in to the feeling.
I agree. They really need to get their stuff together in those countries. Germany is already going the right way. But France, well we know about France.
