[np] Swastikas in Cyprus

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

So /this/ again?! Like the protesters in Greece, Spain and Italy before, 
people in Cyprus carried posters showing swastikas plus Merkel wearing a 
SS uniform and an Adolf Nazi toothbrush beard. Great job, guys! You 
really know how to keep Europe together ... Well, perhaps it would be 
best to call off the Euro thing right now. I mean, this would also make 
sense economically: Giving back Spain the peseta, Italy the lira, Greece 
the drachme and so on, would enable these countries to devalue their 
currency on their own and, thus, make their products more attractive on 
the world market. Tourists would come in troops and everybody will be 
happy. Unlike all the propaganda cooked up in Brussels says, the Euro is 
not a peace-making project. Quite the contrary, as it turns out these 
days. A common currency cannot work when you have different economic bzw 
financial cultures. And of course it's not only the economy: We do not 
even share a common language. And neither the EU nor the Euro have a 
real democratic legitimation, since Europeans did either vote against it 
it or were never asked. It's an elitist project in disrespect of the 
people's power. So let's stop the 'United States of Europe' before it's 
too late! Only an Europe of independent nations will be a peaceful 
Europe in the long run.
