Our Myopic View
One of the longest running and most bloody civil wars of the 20th and 21st Century came to an end peacefully earlier this week in the Sudan, orchestrated in part by Colin Powell. Though the Darfur region is still a mess, the resolution promises to bring either autonomy or self-representation to the oppressed south. It was on page 6 or 7 of the Washington Post.
The European Union's supernational legislature just signed a Constitution making it one of the largest governments in the world. Though it still has to be ratified by its member nations (states?), this represents a huge step towards the creation of what some are calling "The United States of Europe." I caught a blip of this on NPR yesterday morning.
