Poor form Mr Rudd
Feb 5^th, 2012 at 10:55am

I was always brought up when you visit somebody's house, you do not slag them off whilst drinking their tea......

Europe 'at risk of early grave' warns Kevin Rudd

Europe is so preoccupied with its own financial problems it is missing out on the debate about Asia's rise, Australia's foreign minister says.

Kevin Rudd warned that Europe "runs the risk of talking itself into an early economic and therefore globally political grave".

Mr Rudd was speaking on the issue of "America, Europe and the rise of Asia" at the Munich Security Conference.

His comments were dismissed by the EU's internal market commissioner.

Michel Barnier said Europe would "emerge stronger and better organised from this crisis".

'Fundamental strengths'

Mr Rudd told the annual meeting of world leaders that Europe had become sidelined from the debate about the growing economic and political influence of China and Asia, the AFP news agency reports.

"Here in Europe, this continent has largely been missing in this debate, this should no longer be the case," Mr Rudd said.

"The danger that I see is Europe progressively becoming so introspective and so preoccupied with its internal problems on the economy and on the eurozone in particular that Europe runs the risk of talking itself into an early economic and therefore globally political grave".

"We don't want that. We actually think Europe has fundamental strengths to deliver to the rest of the world but we are not seeing a whole lot of that right now," he said.

I am sure the world will be a btter place after Mr Rudds input...on the economy...isnt it throw money at it.. stuff it up so you can then throw more money at it, whilst claiming low employment..because you have to re employ the people that stuffed it up to undo what they did and start again..

I had to smile today they interviewed the labor caucus coming in for the BBQ with jules..

and conroy said they were not going to talk another backstabbing.. they were going to focus on the economy..... I was under the impression we had the best economy in the world.. whats to discuss???......how about Australia Day and a little bit about honesty in govt??

we wouldnt ve that lucky I guess.

I was brought up that when your mate is down on his luck and you can see a way that they can improve it, you point it out to them. Maybe you need to learn some concepts like "friendship" and "helping".
