I file this link under "Quirky Euro Files" namely because the "analysis" inside it is so...well, quirky.
This quote from a recent article in the Guardian made me laugh out loud:
"The EU is easily the most popular and successful empire in history . . ."
Are you kidding me? Oh, yeah, the EU really eclipses those pitiful little past excuses for empire -- like Rome or Great Britain. Pffffffft.

I don't know, let's say the quote was:
"The EU is easily the most popular and THEREFORE the most successful empire in history . . ."
At least the measuring stick would be explicit, and that might even be true. Of course, depends on which definition of 'empire' we go with ...
