Let's hear it for Europe:
Late Add: 4:50PM As a Huge Whooops, the Opinion Journal has this story in much longer form. It is at Best of the Web. which I don't get til around 4PM PDT. Apparently Mark Steyn had it before all that. Same observations: gutless Swedes.
Let's hear it for Europe Vol I the Foreign Minister of Sweden gets knocked off in a store while hundreds look on, and then the killer walks out blood dripping while nobody does anything to help. Get this: nobody helped the Foreign Minister and nobody made a move to detain the killer; hundreds of people just stood around.
Vol II The Swedes have rejected the Euro Currency and thrown both France and Germany into a serious tizzy. Too bad. Both countries have basically gone to war against the rest of Europe (and the U.S.) by deciding UNILATERALLY (the French? unilaterally? NO) to violate all their agreements regarding deficits. Short the ECU. It is going down the tubes because it has nothing to back it, other than the now useless full faith of Germany and France. The Brits will not approve it, nor will any of the countries now outside already committed few.
Vol III The Cancun trade talks. Yes they formally fuck Africa, and don't think for a minute that anything else could have happened. I have reprinted my post below about farming and subsidies from long ago. It is balanced and it is fair. No country is going to allow it's farming to be wiped out by foreign competition. Ever.
Vol IV Europe West, AKA Canada, wants flavored condoms for their prisoners in jails.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Just any old condoms won't do for prison inmates in one Canadian province. Last week, the Manitoba government requested bids on 40,000 fruit-flavored condoms for prisoners in jails and youth centers.
