Leave Europe To The Europeans
"Europe's Superstate" (Editorial, Wednesday) was definitely one-sided and ignored the difficult lessons of history.
In an area smaller than the U.S., religious and national wars devastated Europe over 20 centuries. Economics, rapid transit and rapid information have already united this appendage on the huge continent of Asia. It has gone through the equivalent of our Civil War.
The lack of a George Washington-type leader in Europe is misleading. Washington was a symbol of unity and compromises that all states respected. The real powers were the states.
The great compromise was a Senate that gave equal representation to large and small states and a House of Representatives apportioned by population to favor the larger states. The executive was weaker and developed into the stronger branch as history demanded, and after the Civil War states' rights weakened. Europe can also solve the large nation-small nation dilemma so that France and Germany don't dominate the union.
Let the Europeans work out their own political system as they have their economic union. I trust that they are closer to their own historical struggle than we are.
