		Europe, the old continent, is a continent whose boundaries are the Atlantic Ocean in the west, the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Ural Mountains and Ural River in the east, the Caspian Sea, Caucasus mountains and Black Sea in the southeast and the Mediterranean Sea as the southern boundary.
		With Asia, Europe forms the supercontinent Eurasia: Europe is the western fifth of the Eurasian landmass.
		Following the decline of the Roman Empire, Europe entered a long period of stasis, generally known as the Dark Ages, which came to an end with the Renaissance and the New Monarchs, marking the start of a period of discovery, exploration, and increase in scientific knowledge.

	EURSOC: Old Europe's Power Grab
		Europe is split ideologically and economically down the middle between old and new Europe.The new European constitution is an attempt to set in stone the principles of old Europe and to enshrine its dominance.
		A new Europe should be formed by consenting forward thinking countries who do not define themselves by their hatred of liberal democracy and who still believe that the best institutions to guarantee democracy and to look after their interests are national ones.
		Old Europe should be left alone to enjoy their EU with its 50 year old ideology.

	QandO: Old Europe, New Europe
		Their recent experiences with just such regimes and their overthrow gave them the understanding of the reality, of what is required to do that, which Old Europe was (and is still) apparently unable or unwilling to grasp.
		Eastern Europe remembers that, during the communist era, many West Europeans did not believe their neighbors were mature enough to have democratic societies, while Americans “naively” believed that freedom and democracy were universally valid aspirations.
		Perhaps New Europe can, in the next few years, pass along the benefit of its hard won experience to the arrogant and self-absorbed states of Old Europe.

	<< Old Europe, New Europe - The US illusions>>
		In a post-Communist world the fortunate lands of Western Europe and North America were uniquely well placed to urge upon the rest of the world the lessons of their own achievement: markets and democracy, yes, but also the benefits of good-faith participation in the institutions and practices of an integrated international community.
		It is the claim that Europe is awash in anti-Semitism, that the ghosts of Europe's judeophobic past are risen again, and that this atavistic prejudice, Europe's original sin, explains widespread European criticism of Israel, sympathy for the Arab world, and even support for Iraq.
		Most of the recent attacks on Jews in Western Europe were the work of young Arabs or other Muslims, as local commentators acknowledge.[10] Assaults on Jews in Europe are driven by anger at the government of Israel, for whom European Jews are a conven- ient local surrogate.

	Old Europe’s New Despotism
		Tocqueville himself was a study in contrasts: a nobleman who embraced the ideals of 1789 despite the Revolution’s guillotining of members of his family; a self-proclaimed liberal who abhorred 19th century French liberalism’s rabid anti-clericalism; a practicing Catholic who admitted his faith was undermined by reading Enlightenment thinkers.
		By encouraging such tendencies, Europe’s constitution is unlikely to facilitate the growth of those intermediate associations that, in Tocqueville’s view, assist in preventing democracy from slipping into soft-despotism.
		It follows that if political and economic reform in Old Europe is to be successful, it requires, from a Tocquevillian standpoint, more than extensive deregulation and the political will to deflate bloated welfare-states.

	Aging Europe Finds Its Pension Is Running Out (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In Europe, by contrast, it is expected to rise to 52.3 from 37.7.
		The first effect of this has taken the form of efforts by European governments both of the left and of the right to trim the pay-as-you-go pension system, under which the taxes paid by current workers are used to pay the pensions of current retirees.
		Streissler's basic argument is one that applies to most of the countries of the European Union: people are retiring well before the official retirement age of 60 to 65, depending on the country.

	Old Europe AWOL in Iraq - by Pat Buchanan
		With the "evil empire" having collapsed, Eastern Europe free, the Red Army heading home and the Soviet Union breaking up into 15 nations, the need for NATO or any massive U.S. presence in Europe was history.
		And as Europe is as populous and rich as we, and has two nuclear powers, why not let them go, even as parents, at some point, must let their kids stand on their own two feet?
		Indeed, the drawdown of U.S. forces from Europe since 1990, from 300,000 to fewer than 100,000, suggests that we know there is no real threat to the continent to justify a huge U.S. presence.

	The Claremont Institute: Old Europe, New Europe
		Europe has entered a post-historical paradise, the realization of Immanuel Kant's "Perpetual Peace." The United States, meanwhile, remains mired in history—necessarily, according to Kagan.
		Americans, in turn, should cut Europe some slack: the new, peaceful politics on the continent is a blessed miracle, to be cherished and guarded-- indeed, it is in many ways the culmination of America's own great vision for Europe for which it fought the Cold War.
		The United States and Europe, at least from the time of the French Revolution, have had different understandings of the meaning of self-government, the nation and individual rights.

		They and their countries responded to the call for a new Europe and expressed their solidarity with the United States in its fight against international terror, showing themselves to be ready to back, if necessary, military action against Iraq.
		He comforted himself and his audience, undoubtedly worried about their jobs should that reflex fail to appear in the people of Europe, that as further military integration took place and as “Europe” showed itself to be capable of defending the applicant countries, this reflex would appear.

		To suggest, as Rumsfeld did, that the center of Europe is shifting eastward and that smaller countries, whose GDP may represent 5 to 10 percent of the total, are as important as the major players is folly, the experts said.
		The "new Europe," he implied, consists of the smaller, formerly communist countries vying to join NATO and the EU.
		Rumsfeld's remarks appear to have racheted up already strong anti-U.S. feelings in Europe and lent further support to the view that Bush sees the world in fl and white categories: those who support his drive to oust Hussein are friends, those who do not are enemies.

		They are still smarting after being described by the Bush administration last week as "old Europe" for arguing for more time for the UN inspectors.
