To the editors:
I feel sad for Europe and especially for Ireland and the United Kingdom; you have to live under the delusions of self-made ministers who worships their creator. Disraeli’s ghost would even be dismayed by people so flawed at the center. What more could possibly be wrecked in Europe by such a sterile mind as that of your European Council President Herman Van Rompuy and the hundreds of others like him who are all driving you willy-nilly. They think this way and that way is the best way, with so much mediocrity.
I cannot believe as some do that you are all so blind that you cannot see what is happening to you. As the saying goes it’s not all the economy stupid. But we all are aware of that. All the credible economic strategies that you employ will not rid you of that heavy chain linked across your necks. A more contemptible, unfeeling bunch that you have to contend with makes me want to throw up. America has problems too, but it is not as surprisingly bad as your radicals may think.
Having long ago betrayed themselves to whatever crowns of glory they feel entitled to, these exhausted volcanoes think nothing of betraying you and the rest of Europe over and over. How many “inspired plans” have you seen demolished by their wrecking crews in preceding years? Now they are looking to make everybody feel a sense of responsibility as they squander your time, waste your money, and plunge all of you deeper into remorse. I can only believe that Ireland and Europe wants better, in spite of what you might deserve.
