Bush back from imploding Europe
Sunday, February 27th, 2005 3:33 pm by NealMark Steyn’s column in today’s The Chicago-Sun Times U.S. can sit back and watch Europe implode, is filled, in typical Steyn fashion, with wit and insight on the President’s trip to Europe and the future of the continent. He concludes with this gem:
Until the shape of the new Europe begins to emerge, there’s no point picking fights with the terminally ill. The old Europe is dying, and Mr. Bush did the diplomatic equivalent of the Oscar night lifetime-achievement tribute at which the current stars salute a once glamorous old-timer whose fading aura is no threat to them. The 21st century is being built elsewhere.
Ouch.
