#3 Even the CIA wouldn't be stupid enough to "make" the EU.

#4 Like it or not, this is at least is strategically coherent.

Take-away phrase of the day.

#5 Why's it so unbelievable? America wanted Europe to stop going to war with itself every generation and build a strong bulwark against the Soviets. Of course we would encourage unity. Tinfoil hat? Huh?

#6 A little late in the game. Charlemagne, Napoleon, that Austrian. I think the concept has been around for a while. If it was a CIA plot, someone succeeded in herding cats.

#7 Particularly in recent years, I have become very critical of the Klingon culture, but my views pale in comparison to the views of many in Europe and Africa. It's become something of a meme in some sectors.

#10 If it was a CIA plot, someone succeeded in herding cats.

I am reminded of this: "It had all the hallmarks of a CIA operation in that everyone in the room was killed with the exception of the target."

Prolly bad manners to bring up a certain bombed-out Chinese embassy.
