Do you know who wrote those words? Do you know when those words were written? When you recall the context in which European integration was conceived (two destructive world wars), can those words make sense to you? Otherwise you're no different to those people who pluck a few words from the Koran and claim "Islam is evil"RingoMcCartney wrote:We shouldn't be surprised by Verhofstadts antics.
He clearly hate national sovereignty. He despises the nation state. He's evangelically convinced that self determination is something to be crushed.
He dangerous attitude is summed up at the entrance to the Visitors Centre of the European Parliament, there is a plaque with these words:
“National sovereignty is the root cause of the most crying evils of our times….The only final remedy for this evil is the federal union of the peoples.”
When hysteria riddled, Little Europeaner extremists claim to have "the final remedy" they should be opposed by every right minded democrat in Europe.
Personally I'm glad this country has people like Verhofstadt to stand up for us in the face of our authoritarian government. We see things differently, you and I.
