An EU projecting force without troops?

Dangerous nonsense from Benita Ferrero- Waldner, EU Commissioner for External Affairs and European Neighbourhood Policy at the College of Europe, Bruges yesterday. The full speech of contradictions and woolly thinking may be read from this link. It concluded as follows: Europe needs you - its young generation - to help it operate more effectively in a globalized world. And let me say how pleased I am that the College has added the “International Relations and Diplomacy” strand to its curriculum. As Isaac Goldberg joked, “Diplomacy is to do and say the nastiest things in the nicest way” – an important skill! More seriously, I am convinced this will make an essential contribution to building up the European Union’s identity and power on the world stage. Editor's highlighting!!!!
