No, I still feel that's a bit complacent, Jim.
Those of us who disagree don't stuff our message down everybody's throats with an incessant barrage of propaganda for months on end. Is it really news that this year like every one for close on a hundred past the Army's having an amble down Whitehall and civic dignitaries are closing roads down for miles around in London? Instead, we have to justify our criticisms in things like the thread on Oh! What a Lovely War! when the facts are there in black and white.
For fifty years, my peers and our predecessors brought the politicians of Europe together to learn that jaw jaw is better than war war. However, the big-heads thought they could do it themselves, and in a bare ten years have returned us to the condition where, in Gorbachev's words, "Failure to achieve security in Europe would make the continent irrelevant in world affairs," because it is becoming "an arena of political upheaval, of competition for the spheres of influence, and finally of military conflict."
This is NOT the legacy we left the European Commission. Instead of mutual cooperation and respect, their infighting has set us back forty years. And that is the fruit of those Don Maclean described, "They are not listening, they're not listening still. Perhaps they never will."

So, when in twenty years time we're at war once more within Europe, remember this from someone who was entrusted to keep and hold the peace, and did so: although it is necessary to prepare for war if you wish to maintain it, taking that as a justification for war is a betrayal of the objective. I don't give a monkeys who's causing it, trying to see whose balls are the bigger simply reduces the world to a bunch of fucking simians - or worse, because even Bonobos use negotoiation to resolve their problems. Perhaps Cameron and Merkel should be locked in a room together with nothing but aphrodisiacs in the ventilation.
