    COMMENT: Separatists mock 'American training'

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26116598

    Abkahzian separatist forces backed by Russian military might pushed out Georgian troops and even moved into Georgian territory itself, defiantly planting a flag and laughing that retreating Georgians had received "American training in running away."

    Well, now this news must make George F. Will jump for joy, or at least dance a sort of 1940 Adolf jig. Bloodshed, tanks rolling, death, terror and tens of thousands uprooted because of ethnic hostility . Silly "Homogenizers" , peacenicks trying to seek to find common ground, diplomacy and rule of law to help prevent this sort of thing. HOMOGENIZERS IN RETREAT! WARMONGERS RULE!!! Right George? Shave your head. George, the skinheads will follow.

    What´s all this vitriole about? No one is inviting us to join the EU, so Will can relax. He has pretty limited insight into the complexities of Europe and the psychologies of its people but his grandiosity lets him think of anyone supporting the idea of an EU as a "slow learner". And, of course, they are all marxists. A flag that no one salutes and an anthem with no words to sing" - now that just the proof George Will needs to show us what an opera bouffe that whole attempt is. The past is never dead, eh George? Is that why the confererate flag continues to be so popular in parts of this United States? Obscurantism and lunacy? They are everywhere - and they don´t go away just because your constitution is worded well.

    After the drafiting of the its contitution a subsequent failure to pass in referendums, the European Union can be best described by the military acronym FUBAR. It is now doing quite the tap dance to convince Europeans of its nessecity while at the same time trying to convince Turkey that it's not.

    Still I wonder what the left's obsession with making this country "more european."
