#1 When boiled down to it's very essence, the whole EU movement is now and always has been about one thing: Hatred and Jealousy of the US.

This can only carry you so far, as Chirac has undoubtedly realized. Even in Europe, you have to give people a more convincing argument than beating those damn Americans before they give up their sovereignty.

#2 The 'thud' sound of that other shoe dropping was a pleasant one! Blair has a small amount of egg to clean off his face.

#3 that Mr Blair no longer believed that putting Britain at the heart of Europe could be his legacy:

I find it amusing how each one of these leaders thought himself to be the "heart" of Europe. Each humored the others thinking ultimately they would be The One.

France, Germany and England - each one of these leaders saw a personal opportunity to wear The Really Big Crown.

All their delusions of glory shattered in one week. such a pity.

#5 Well, Tony Blair saw the handwriting on the wall about the demise of the EU dream, soooooooo.....on to Africa. He better look toward an overhaul of his own country first, before it is lost.
