Eurocrats are not detered.

"Reports of the European Union's death are greatly exaggerated." Those are the opening words to the article "European Union's woes a storm in a teacup?" from the Christian Science Monitor. It seems the Eurocrats in Brussels are simply going to delay any major further moves untill 2007, when the French and Dutch are supposed to have new governments.

So yes, the battle may have been won, but the war still goes on. Perhaps it's time for a simple prayer:

Saint Michael the Archangel,defend us in battle.Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -by the Divine Power of God -cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
