Expanding Europe

An interesting post from Wafin.com; Serving Moroccans in the U.S. which discusses the prospects for Morocco’s “democratic European future”. Given that Morocco is in North Africa, this might seem something of a contradiction in terms. But the concept of ‘Europe’ is expanding all the time. I predict that the success or failure of the European idea will be the big historical issue of the first half of the 21st century, outweighing or subsuming such questions as American hyperpower and the conflict between Islam and the West.
