The “Mediterranean Union” Is Born: Intriguing, Disturbing, And Prophetic?
Joel Rosenberg reports — An intriguing new geopolitical entity was born over the weekend that could in ways small and large dramatically change the course of Europe and the Middle East in the years ahead. At a series of ceremonies in Paris — in a palace overlooking the River Seine — leaders from 43 countries comprising 756 million people met officially to form the “Mediterranean Union,” to fight terrorism, end WMD proliferation, enhance regional security, and promote free trade, economic development, and tourism.
The brainchild of French President Nicolas Sarkzozy, the M.U. is certainly not a formal military or economic alliance by any stretch. Not yet, at least. But significantly, it does include all the nations of the European Union, Israel and all the countries of North Africa. The sole exception is Libya, whose leader, Muammar Gadaffi, denounced the organization as the rise of a “another Roman Empire.” Gadaffi is right. That’s precisely what we’re seeing.
It disturbs me, in no small part because of the fact that Syria’s thuggish President Bashar Assad was allowed to strut out ont the international stage again at Sarkozy’s invitation despite the fact that the world has done so much to isolate Assad for his atrocities in Lebanon, Iraq and within his own country. Nevertheless, Sarkozy and his colleagues are ecstatic about what they’re doing and where it could lead. They see a unified Europe setting the model for a unified planet. A one world system, run by Europe.
