Voters in France and Greece have just pronounced what may prove to be a farewell to the centralized, socialist European experiment that has been abuilding since the end of World War II.
True, the French voters elected socialist Francois Hollande, who favors the European Union and reflexively supports its creeping strangulation of national sovereignty on the continent. Still, his electorate, like the Greeks’, want no part of the EU’s main project at the moment – fiscal discipline and budgetary austerity.
Economic turmoil, rising concerns about immigration, the threat posed by Islamization and the reemergence of widespread anti-semitism suggest that Europe may soon be in for another of the cataclysms that have plagued it for nearly all of recorded history. If that happens again, our own tranquility and prosperity will be jeopardized, as well.
