German chancellor Angela Merkel, currently chairing the EU, called it a "significant step forward."

A significant step forward...into what?

Now that the US dollar and the US employee is effectively the low priced option, who does this help? How does this help me, the average little guy, in the EU?

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

That is none of Angela Merkel's concern.

Bush is a symptom, not the disease.

Ya know, I don't think I've ever read of a high-level meeting where a head of state said something like, "Fuck me, what was a complete waste of time," or "We could have wound it up an hour earlier, if s/he could only have stopped talking," or any of the other things normal people say after meetings. They always feel obligated to say something positive/meaningless, I guess to save face.
