[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 236357"] Because most of Europe insists on doing incredibly dogmatic and short-sighted things such as recognise Kosovan indepence when they know [i]full well[/i] that there are EU members who have serious seperatist movements such as Spain who could only hold their head in their hands and weep bitter tears of anger and dismay as the likes of Britain, Germany and France rumble off to join the "recognise Kosovo" bandwagon. Europe never has a joint position on [i]anything[/i] because it doesn't [i]think[/i] as a collective whole. I could think of a few examples recently (Eastern Europe vs France, Germany and Italy over Russia) and one or two [i]extreme[/i] examples from the past (such as France arming and aiding a nation when that nation was at [i]war[/i] with one of France's EU Partners...) but then I'd go even more off topic than I already have...
