Barroso: Non-Imperial Empire

An important part of the Wilsonian world order is the European Union. Now the European Commission President, José Manuel Barroso, tells us the EU is a "non-imperial empire". It is not imposed from a center.

I guess that means it's just like modern democracy; "we" always have the right to kick "them" out of office. Well, I guess it's all right then?



BTW, those United States of America were also originally in a voluntary union. I wrote a piece on this a few years back.
