Q: How do you force a European to respect his neighbors?

A: Move him to America, or Australia, anywhere but Europe.

The German newspaper Die Tageszeitung a few days ago called Belgium the “most successful ‘failed state’ of all time.” The Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme offered to resign last month, saying that the “federal consensus model has reached its limits,” and that he couldn’t bring harmony to the country’s Flemish and French-speaking regions, raising the specter that this nation of 10.4 million might split up for good.

For all of the talk of a unified Europe, it may prove awfully difficult to change the actual Europeans who make it up.
