Euro who?
If you are not all already aware, and there is really no reason you should be, the french decided overwhelmingly to defeat ratification of the European Union Constitution. The IHT had this to say about it. Basically the french far-left and far-right were able to convince enough of there country men that a EU constitution would make life miserable for them, never mind that it would bring order to what is now a hugely chaotic assemblage of treaties and enable the EU to be a real international power player with enough clout to perhaps meaningfully butt heads with Washington. But alas, Europe will remain weak and the US will continue on as an unchallenged economic and military power able to do what ever the hell she wants to. I am sure they will sort all of this out eventually, but in the mean time I hope that the chaos created by the french “no” vote brings the Euro down a few pegs so that I can afford a few more things. stupid french
