Your special report on the European Union’s enlargement occasionally gets cheeky with respect to the past, but it is more than timid when it comes to the future (“In the Nick of Time,” May 31, 2008). All you have to say in less than a page at the end of the report is that the main problem ahead is Turkey. Bravo! You have little to offer about the so-called Western Balkans. And you have next to nothing to contribute concerning Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, and Georgia. Of course, in all this you only mirror the poor Union itself. It has no vision. No gumption. No pep. No nothing. What is worse, the Union is unlikely to change its doleful tune about enlargement in the years to come. After it gobbles up the remainder of the Balkans, it will take a long time to digest its awkward meal. Burping and farting, it will go for a slumber. And that will be that.
