What do you think of this proposal to hang EU and NATO membership over the Balkans in an attempt to chill things out? Do you think Northern Europeans could stomach such a proposal? I think Albania will go the same way as Turkey... See, Derek, there's a hidden religious agenda for European technocrats. NATO, since it's managed by the U.S., doesn't have to comply with such a religious/cultural agenda and that's why Turkey is part of NATO. Of course, there might be some sort of loose partnership implemented for Albania by the EU but don't expect a full EU-membership for a Muslim country! BTW, I whish to recommend you the reading of a great novel: UNHOLY ALLIANCE, by David Yallop, the author who rocked the Vatican with In God's Name, his international multi-million copy bestseller that presented evidence that Pope John Paul I was murdered. Here's what the book cover says: Imagine a company so big and so powerful that its annual turnover is equal in size to China's entire GDP. A company whose gross turnover for just one financial year is sufficient to buy at current market value the world's three largest public companies: General Electric, Royal Dutch Shell and Microsoft. A company that if it dipped into its petty cash could in the same year also buy Coca-Cola. A company where ten days' turnover is in excess of the combined assets of the world's top fifty banks. It exists. Its current turnover of more than $500 billion is derived from just three products: heroin, cocaine, marijuana. The drugs cartel of cartels is a factual reality, but sometimes it is only through fiction that one can get close to the real truth. Drawing on years of experience as a bestselling investigative writer, David Yallop has produced an explosive fiction debut. Unholy Alliance is a breathtaking high-speed race that goes straight to the truth behind the modern American nightmare and into an alarming, but all too believable, future. (The novel is published by Bantam Press, 1999)
