Shim Jae Hoon, Washingtonpost.com, 29 March 2007
What has happened in Europe over the last 50 years since the Treaty
of Rome is truly remarkable. It has shown that nations with different
ambitions and dreams can be molded into a single matrix of unity
in diversity. It is a triumph of reason over vanity. The common
legacy of a thousand years of wars and misery, with Christianity
and Hellenistic culture binding them all, have cemented a New Europe
committed to the pursuit of peace and prosperity. Europe's momentum
of integration has hardly slowed; it is expected to keep expanding
