Hitler and Churchill redux

Used to be a time when I would say that we should have let
the Germans run all the trains and car factories in Europe.
But , Hitler wouldn't have been happy with only that.

But I'm beginning to wonder why my ancestors fought these
guys off. We went into the EU, with the intention of
stopping wars, the best intentions. And we've ended up with
a common currency that is being run by bankers, and those
bankers are 'making' the unelected leaders of Europe
call a halt to democracy: van Rumpy, Barosso, Merkel.
Will this lead to war?

Once met a former stagiaire from Belgium who told me
that the EU = whatever Germany, the UK and France want
is what happens. I found it hard to defend, until this week.

And now that the whole thing is coming crashing down,
those three are deciding and nobody seems to be complaining.
It's a troika, dammit!

Now we can see it clearly. Merkel can cancel Sarkozy, but she
can't stop the UK. Luckily for her, Cameron is a twit. Anyway,
the way things are going, Hitler's dream is coming true.
