For a Pax Europeana
Can we fold the remains of the Ottoman empire into a new European empire?

Quote:

We talk a lot these days about a Pax Americana, as a successor to the Pax Romana. The United States played a vital role in bringing peace to the Balkans in the 1990s, and could help keep the peace there now by supporting Nato enlargement. But a Pax Americana is not on offer in Europe's backyard. This one is up to us. Isn't the prospect of a Pax Europeana, embracing the whole continent, worth the undoubted risk?

There´s one simple problem:The EU is uncapable of acting when needed and even when facing the resistance from the puniest of foes, it retreates. There can be no continental peace nor empire when the will to protect even the most selfish interests of EU - not to speak of any high ideals - is lacking. In the Mediterranean, an area that should be the EU`s backyard, where it should be calling the shots, it´s standing in the aisles and watches as the US monster rages and creates problem for the EU, as many individual EU members court the monster´s favours.

EU needs leadership that has more aggressiveness, stubborness, arrogance and far more spine and will to do what is necessary for the benefit of the EU.
