Belgium's Al-Qaeda plotters and the EU Leaders not fit to be martyrs

Thank goodness the Al-Qaeda plotters were arrested before they could harm one hair of the head of any of the 27 EU Leaders assembled in Brussels for their summit, read the IHT report from here. Earlier yesterday these same leaders had shown their complete disdain for democracy in adopting a measure that will require the Irish people to rerun the referendum on the already rejected Lisbon Treaty. Read today's The Times editorial from here on that outrage. Any kind of early death, let alone one with the slightest hint of glory or sacrifice, is not to be wished for democracy destroying individuals such as these. Rather the people of the EU must hope and try to deliver a long and difficult retirement in penury for each Leader attending this week's summit, thus they can contemplate over many years the full enormity of their oppressive plans for some 300 million once free and democratically ruled fellow Europeans.
