#2 Pay only the service workers, water, sewer, power street repair, and garbage workers.
If there's enough money pay the police, doctors, and teachers
Politicians, government workers, etc should be paid dead last

#3 The EU can pay the Palestinians after Israel deports them to Brussels.

#5 I don't think that Israel particularly cares what the EU thinks. This is an open choosing of sides and the EU is on the wrong side. Britain, if it is to have a future, should withdraw from the EU and draw closer to the US and Australia. The EU government is currently an inept, impotent cross between a death cult and a mutual suicide pact.

#6 Will they get paid on a "per bombing" or a "per death" basis? They should hold out for the "per death" bonus. Cha-ching.

#8 Isn't supporting and funding a terrorist organisation illegal?

When the government ceases to obey it's own laws, then what reason do the people have to obey the law?

#9 How does the EU plan to transfer the money through the banking system?

#10 Either through the European Central Bank or, more likely, through the french national bank I would guess.

#11 I welcome the EU going it alone. I hope they'll go it alone with UN funding too. Bush can't pull the plug on that one fast enough to suit me.

#12 You can count on the Euros to do the wrong thing and to be smug about it.
