I am neither fearless nor resilient. Dirk's article was therefore tough to read. Which does not diminish its accuracy or value. It is, what it is. I need hope, which can rightly be called naïve. Yet my hope is that Europe will leave its infancy stage. After 80 years of vacation from our own history, it is time to grow up and no big brother at the other side of the pond will help us any longer. Adolescence is a difficult period, let's hope we become grown ups.

Many thanks, Uwe, for the spot-on image.
