Oh boy...
The usual suspects are going to hate The Independent for publishing Mark Kurlansky's words today.
Here is a little sample:
In the idealised new Europe, economies are merged, citizenship is merged. But those who support the idea deny that countries will be eliminated. There will simply be a new idea of a nation - a nation that maintains its own culture and identity while being economically linked and politically loyal to a larger state. Some 1,800 years ago, the Basques told the Roman Empire that this was what they wanted. Four centuries ago, they told it to Ferdinand of Aragon. They have told it to Francois Mitterrand and Felipe Gonzalez and King Juan Carlos.
Check out the whole article, is rather informative, and it demolishes much of the propaganda dished out by more than one so called "liberal" blogs.
