Europe has progressed a lot, as has America and the rest of the world. But the Yugoslav disaster was a European calamity too reminiscent of its recent past to go away believing that a return to those rivalries is not just a few misunderstandings away.
My point, however, was not that Europe is barbaric, but that it takes a Prince to govern effectively there as it does anywhere else. A weak but saintly EU president would likely spell disaster. And it is all the more so given that it is not popular support but institutional support that matters in that office.
...but that it takes a Prince to govern effectively there as it does anywhere else.
Perhaps it does take a Prince for people like yourself, though I doubt even that. Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
