Luxembourg -Greece: Is there a pilot in the plane?

Unfortunately the great European construction has been flawed from the beginning, when politicians didn't muster the courage to define the real final goal of European integration. The good will of the Founding Fathers has been largely betrayed since, and the construction became a lamentable shack by compromise: appointed officials, a menu of policies to choose from and misguided decisions on Governance, Foreign Policy, Defense, Schengen, and the Euro. All are suffering from the absence of European-wide acceptance, implementation and enforcement. Of course among them the Euro that is not backed by a common economic policy and has many guardians, some clueless when a crisis shows up.

Here is what you get as an example of the cacophony. The sampling is limited to Luxembourg: it doesn't consider what was said by other officials from ECB, the Commission or any other supposed guardian of the grail:
