A Note on Unwitting Light-Bearers at the Times
by Myles Kantor

>From the New York Times� editorial  on Ireland�s rejection of the (Not
So) Nice Treaty:
��the Irish vote should remind Europe�s leaders that they need to do
 a better job of selling the benefits of further integration. Otherwise,
voters will reclaim their nations� sovereignty with a vengeance.�

�Reclaim,� now that�s a curious usage.  Its definitions include �to recall
from wrong or improper conduct,� �to rescue from an undesirable
state,� and �to regain possession of.�  If Irish voters may reclaim
Ireland�s sovereignty, then that implies Ireland�s sovereignty is
currently compromised.

The Times is right: Irish sovereignty is in a precarious
condition. A historically beleaguered country to begin with, Ireland
now faces hegemony by a supra-national Leviathan seeking to
internationalize a statist slew, coupled with a domestic leadership
complicit in the Leviathan�s objective.

Ireland�s rejection of the (Not So) Nice Treaty attests its obstinacy
against imperial ambition.  The Emerald Isle�s not going to let a bunch
of alien bureaucrats dictate its political destiny.      Clearly, the New
York Times supports  European �integration�; yet its usage reflects
cognizance of what that pernicious project entails.

A people cannot reclaim what is already theirs, and insofar as the
Times has identified Ireland�s crisis of autonomy,  we owe it our thanks.
