HoustonChronicle.com - 25 nations sign first constitution for EU
The PMs and presidents of the 25 EU nations met at the heart of the last empire over the known world to try to set up the next. As I have said before, the Europeans will wake up some day and feel sorry that after saving them from the Russians they thumbed their collective noses at the US and found no one to left to save them and the Russians for the Red Chinese. The good news is that as many as ten nations may allow the people to decide this question directly through referenda, rather than the votes of professional politicians in their parliaments, and some of those may not pass.
