Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I suppose this "we" in the name of which you speak is the so-called international community. I am sure that community is pleased to have such a well-trained spokesman.

It is not enough to have the discourse of empire rehearsed endlessly in the major newspapers and the cable news channels: it must also find expression in the most obscure of non-mainstream blogs.

I'm not sure we're that obscure, we did help stop Blair. And we do want to be mainstream, as in my name's Paul Krugman, member of the extreme left, formerly known as the center.

Me being a spokesman for the "international community" is quite an hilarious idea, but in that vein, I wonder what forces you're knowingly or unwittingly a spokesman for? No matter which it is, I'm sure they're quite pleased.

I speak for myself.

And if you use "we" to refer to the EuroTrib community, I resent your use of this pronoun, since I consider myself to be a member of this community, and have not seen you write anything that I would associate with the values I understand this blog to stand for.

The writers of the ET do not produce officially sanctioned ET material. They often have differing opinions on many issues, as demonstrated in our often vigorous debates.

But I do insist on my belief that us ET'ers do not, as a community, want to be obscure and non-mainstream just for the sake of it.
