Yet on paper Europe has equipped itself with the means to achieve its ambitions; it remains, then, for the leaders of the national governments to size up the issues confronting them today (at times violently) and opt for the only solution that seems logical \u2013 federal governance. Perhaps they will have to hit rock bottom before they realize that there is no other way to rise again.
