The United States and Europe soon risk being overtaken by the rest of the world. To hold on to their place and value system, they ought to form an organic alliance, a Union of the West.
And from the mind of a former French Prime Minister, no less. Edouard Balladur's big idea is said to build on the free trade initiative currently backed by Angela Merkel and Gordon Brown:
History is starting to be made without the West, and perhaps one day it will be made against it.
This article hints at whether this might be "desperation" or "an escapist proposal that excuses the rich and comfortable from looking closer and less indulgently at their own failures."
Yup. Probably.
Not sure how yet another delusion of grandeur could save "the West."
