Steve Shaw wrote: In what way was WWII an "extrapolation of empire?" Don't you do history? WW II was an extrapolation of empire because WW 1 was, at least in part, a war of empires and WW 11 was Hitler's attempt at re-adjusting the result of WW 1. It occurred to me after my previous post that perhaps the EU itself can be looked at as a kind of Empire. The possibilities for irony expand. Whether it's the EU or NATO who's kept the peace ask yourself who's paid for it. The big yellow seems to think it's America via NATO.
