Europe Cannot Allow Belgium to Implode
From the desk of The Brussels Journal on Sun, 2007-11-11 08:02
Europe does indeed encourage decentralisation and regionalism. [...] But separatists cannot all be given the impression they are acting in perfect impunity and will be able to benefit, not matter what, from EU advantages. At a time when Kosovo's independence is coming into view, Europe should address the question of interior borders. To allow the implosion of Belgium, the founding country of the EU and seat of institutions, would be to open the door to the balkanisation of Europe.
Does it matter?

The balkanisation of Europe or the islamafication of Europe, does it really matter? The Europeans have slit their throats from ear to ear with the knife of PC correctness and multiculturalism and now they wonder why they are bleeding to death. When you surrender your liberties to a bunch of unelected bureaucrats responsible to no one but themselves this equals stealth totalitarianism. The EU has changed itself from a group of nations coming together for economic stability to a monolithic monster destroying itself from within.
EU could purchase itself a capital

Now, if the European Union, which is about to become a legal entity, purchases itself Brussels as its capital?
I know that'd be bending the rules for what EU is supposed to be doing. That'd hardly be the first time, would it?
