Europe ‘axis’ regroups to curb Bush in second term

The Times
By Greg Hurst, Political Correspondent in Brussels

FRANCE, Germany and Spain signalled a new alliance yesterday to strengthen the European Union’s political project as a counterbalance to the United States after the re-election of President Bush.
The triple axis formed by “old Europe” powers, whose leaders were the most vociferous in opposing the Iraq war, was a rebuff to Tony Blair’s accusation that they were in a “state of denial” over the outcome of America’s presidential election.

Jacques Chirac, France’s President, declared that the result left the world “more multi-polar than ever” and said that Europe must react by strengthening its political unity and press ahead with its new constitution.

“The confirmation of strong American politics leads naturally to the necessity to reinforce Europe politically and economically,” M Chirac said at an EU summit in Brussels.

“Europe today has more than ever the need and necessity to reinforce its unity. That is the goal of the constitution.

and they have my thanks!

is our only hope since the repukes are running the show here.

It's nice to know the rest of the world understands the severity of what's going on here. This nation is an enormous threat.

That being said, I wish the EU the best in constructing a viable counterpoint to our imperialistic, growing theocracy.

Viva la EU!

We ARE the force of reactionary totalitarianism, after all.

After all Blair, Howard and Bush are the true ASSES OF EVIL!

the EU has a bigger economy than the US. The dollar will continue to lose value, which will encourage more countries/companies to conduct trade in Euros than in dollars. IF the EU gets its act together, over time they could build a military that would rival the US. What better motivation than a fascist madman in charge of nuclear weapons and a military with global reach?
