Great quote on European Constitution

by Karel Thönissen

A great quote by President Mrs. Vaira Vike-Freiberga of Latvia --a country that escaped from tyranny only 15 years ago-- when asked about the pending European constitution:

The European Union established the longest period of peace in European history. Whatever the faults [of the EU], there must be something good about it. It is the most democratic, the most prosperous [part of the world], with the best quality of living. For us that is good enough.
