Two views of the European Union

From the US: the <a href="http://www.utne.com">Utne Reader</a> has a very positive piece about the <a href="http://www.utne.com/pub/2004_125/promo/11349-1.html">European Dream</a> (over the American dream).

From the UK: The <a href="http://www.ukip.org">UK Independence Party</a> held its annual conference (semi-literate conference report <a href="http://www.ukip.org/index.php?menu=conference&page=conferencenews">here</a>) at which the <a href=
"http://www.europa.eu.int">European Union</a> was held up as all that is evil and sinister.

We report, you decide.
