Response to commenter Graham Spence

Reader comment on item: Europe vs. America
in response to reader comment: Attitudes in Europe.

"Russia will be part of the EU. Within 20, so will China. We
could be in a position within our lifetimes where there is a single
trading area that stretches from the Pacific to the Pacific, the long
way around. Within which war is as unthinkable as the idea of the UK
invading France is now...."

I am glad we have friends in the UK. Reading your comments, I am reminded
how deeply Utopianism runs in Europe. It seems many Europeans believe the
Second Coming/End of History has arrived.

I am reminded of the Kellogg-Briand Pact in the 1920s, which effectively
outlawed war. Preposterous.

Otherwise, I enjoyed your comments.
Rule Britannia.
