It is time for Europe to stop acting like an occupied continent and start displaying its own political will. The action taken by the EU in the course of the Georgian crisis proved that Europeans have such an aspiration and are willing to fulfill their role as a global player, which will become increasingly apparent in the coming years.
是时候让欧洲停止如一块被占领的大陆一般行事，而展现自己的政治意愿了。欧盟在格鲁吉亚危机过程中所采取的行动证明欧洲人有这样的愿望并愿意担负起他们全球性的责任。这一点在未来若干年将会更加明朗。
