That's why the current polarizing battle within the PS over a referendum, scheduled for Dec. 1, to accept or reject the E.U. constitution is so puzzling.

There is absolutely no reason why we can’t have fun, fruitful academic discussion without falling four weeks behind...
...reject Krauthammer's claim that "never in American history has fear been a more appropriate feeling." The difference between the frightful times of the past, such as the Civil War, the Great Depression and the cold war years, and today's situation is that whenever it seemed as though fear should have overcome the American psyche, our resolve and courage rose up to beat it back.
