Europe options

Submitted by Stephane S Lubicz (United States), Mar 1, 2007 at 16:35

Europe has learned from history that it is better to let others do their "physical" wars (i.e. Kosovo and now the refusal of many to send troops to Afghanistan) while they limit themselves to verbal wars and wars of ideas.

With a birth rate declining below 2, Europe will not have the means to prevent a "peaceful invasion" that will play in favor of the "invaders".

The obvious conclusion is that there will be no one to fight even the wars of ideas if the birth rate trend is not reversed soon.

The rest becomes irrelevant.
