Even a stopped clock is right twice a day

France opened a third front with Britain on the eve of today’s European Union summit by publicly voicing grave reservations about Turkey’s impending membership.  The statement yesterday by Dominique de Villepin, the new French Prime Minister, increased the tension surrounding a summit that is already engulfed in bitter disputes over the EU budget and constitution.  Britain has insisted enlargement will be a priority during its EU presidency, which begins next month, and will proceed on schedule ...  Earlier, M de Villepin told the French parliament that the results of its referendum on the EU constitution had shown the speed of enlargement had shaken EU citizens.  “We must take it into account,” he said.  Bulgaria and Romania should be admitted in 2007, but “beyond that we must certainly open a discussion with our partners on the mode of future enlargements”.  He did not mention Turkey by name but was clearly refering to the poor, predominantly Muslim country which is due to start membership talks with the EU on October 3.

They’re making it sound as if the only obstacle to the aggrandizement of the power of the EU, is the nationalistic prejudice of the low and middling elements. The nonsensical and despotic supersovereignties are wrongful, regardless of whether Turks are bad or disastrous , as potentially freely migrating in Europe. Elites attempted moral and intellectual intimidation to put over their aggressive transnationalism, but the peasants were not cowed. The internationalists have no following, and are starting to realize it, even to the point of suggesting that they need to acquire some reputation for loyalty to their actual countries. The attempted idealization of the stateless person was always a pretense; and an indulgence of effortless moral superiority seeking.
