Merkel looks for divine intervention to save EU Constitution

THE EUROPEAN Constitution that took more than 100 politicians, hundreds of diplomats and thousands of lobbyists two years to put together looks pretty dead.

Nobody appears to know how to revive it after France and the Netherlands dealt it what looks like a fatal blow.

There have been think-ins, philosophical discussions and several conferences about how to put it back together again, but they have failed to produce any optimism.
