Not that anyone cares, but...

So it looks like the European Union is dangerously close to not having a ratified constitution. It seems that the citizenry of France isn't all too thrilled with ceding any of their sovereignty to the English or Germans. Likewise, the English and Germans don't seem to want to cede any sovereignty to the French.

The French people are likely to vote 'no' on the referendum. The English are more or less hoping that happens so an English referendum will be more or less pointless. But in typical socialist fashion, French President Jaque Chirac has vowed to disregard the will of his people in the interest of the 'common good'.

For once, I agree with the French. Why should they have to sign a constitution with a bunch of people they can't stand? When was the last time any two countries in Europe could agree on anything (except for hating George Bush)? Aside from the fact that they all hate each other, they don't even speak the same language or share the same culture. The main reason for the Union in the first place is to balance America's power, which they have no hope of doing. And that kind of realism starts wars. We saw how well it worked in 1914.

Actually, I could really care less about the whole thing, I just wanted an excuse to play around with links. Plus I like seeing European politicians look like idiots. It's funny to me.
