"The European experience of the last 50 years was to stop war and to find other forms of intercultural communication within Europe," Such garbage. Again, I point to the massacre that was Yugoslavia. European guys like Friedrich Krotz did what to stop the genocide that happened on their own backstep? Nothing, as I recall.
