That's the problem
Nov. 27th, 2011 12:00 am"Europe is either going to fall forward or fall back," my friend Pierre, a French diplomat, told me when I was in Paris last month. "And it must fall forward." By "fall forward," he meant that European countries must agree to surrender to the European Union much of their control over economic issues, as they already have over currency, internal migration, and the like. And by "must" he meant that the crisis over the euro had brought the system to a supreme moment of decision in which Europeans had to choose between greater integration and collapse.
"But will Europeans agree to fall forward?" I asked.
"That's the problem," said Pierre with a rueful grin.
