		<description><![CDATA[The creation of the euro currency was meant to be the culmination of Europe’s ever closer union.

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, the citizens of Ireland will go to the polls to vote for the second time on the Lisbon Treaty, after apparently giving the &#8216;wrong&#8217; answer the first time around.

		<description><![CDATA[Only the Europeans can decide on the EU&#8217;s future. Timothy Garton Ash wrote in the Guardian of &#8220;the essential grandeur of this project we call the European Union, where nations born in so much blood work together freely in a commonwealth of democracies.&#8221; He is right, but his argument actually works against the Lisbon Treaty, or at [...]]]></description>
