Yes, much of the post-WW2 support for European political integration was driven a sincere desire to make it impossible for our continent to repeat the horrors of the early 20th Century. Having the best of motives, however, does not make one's diagnosis and proposed cure right.

My father landed in Normandy on D-Day plus one. Fought until 1945 as a Captain in the Royal Artillery. VE Day in my boyhood was a sober affair. He would toast the Common Market and later the EU. Never again he would say. More of that sensibility would be welcome this week.
