And More EU

EU Nations to Fly the EU Flag at the 2008 Olympics?

It seems that the EU chief, Romano Pradi, is claiming that the EU has won the Olympic medal race. So much for sovereignty among the EU nations. In fact, according to the article, all EU nations may have to fly the EU flag along with their own for the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

I've been talking about how the EU is moving toward becoming a singular, "super power" like nation for a while (read here). This is just another sign that this is becoming a reality.

Oh...and if this does become reality, they probably won't be an ally.

If the EU is not an ally, remember who alienated the whole world after 9/11 instead of building alliances: the chimp.
Remember that Europeans proclaimed, "We are all Americans" in solidarity after 9/11, and remember who squandered that solidarity for PNAC's war in Iraq: the chimp.
Yes, his leadership has been steadfast...right down the toilet.

i'm sure the flag will have a sickle and hammer on it - you know, seeing as the domino effect of bush foreign policy has already propped the socialist party back into power in Spain.

Because we all know that terrorists respond best to hugs, flowers, and saying "I love you."

Appeasement works!

The EU is not supposed to be a super state. I think this will be stopped before a lot of people get upset. This could hurt the EU more then a lot of its regulatory games it has been playing.

The EU is trying to combine to threaten the market control of one country. The US. Even if they support us, they will be at best, very unwilling allies.
