And in a totally unrelated story, Mexican Presidente Fox threatens to sue the United States should they actually have the temerity to enforce existing law on the shared U.S.-Mexican border.
Do they really want to be dictated by Brussels?
See, here's the funny part. The EU did a grand total of one smart thing: make all of Europe a free-trade zone unto itself. But of course, the Euro-libs just had to go and screw that up.
"The decree, which came into force on Dec 31 last year, was part of the policy of "economic patriotism" declared by the prime minister, Dominique de Villepin."
Lolocaust. Protectionism subsidizes domestic producers at the expense of domestic consumers. It is nothing more than French labor unions lining their own pockets at the expense of the rest of the French populace. "Economic patriotism" is nothing more than theft with a happy-sounding label on it. There is nothing patriotic about it.
The EU is falling apart sooner rather than later.
