Waiting to see "the Hours" this past weekend, I spent a few minutes in a bookstore. Browsing the computer section, I overheard a couple of gentlemen speaking in a language I couldn't identify. So I asked, and was told Romanian. After a few paragraphs of conversation regarding possible reunification with Moldavia, and the scene at the famous "Flower Bridge", I was told that Romania along with other eastern European countries were unhappy with the Franco-German axis that was attempting to control the EU. I was reminded of this conversation when reading
How should the Eastern European countries be seen and treated in the context of these European processes?
About the way that Idaho is seen in the US.

Also, in the same article:
Robert Heinlein, who said:
Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
I suspect our election in '04 will have this as an underlying theme.
