EU Crisis

It seems that the European Union is in a bit of a crisis these days. First French and Dutch voters rejected the proposed constitution, now the union is unable to create an agreement on budgetary issues. This is an old alliance, so I have no doubt that they'll find their way out of this current spat, but it does seem precarious for an organization that is in many ways trying to make itself into the second superpower. It will be interesting to see how they get themselves out of this situation, especially since it has degraded into verbal denigration and name calling.
