Have you ever stepped into something you wish you didn't, and after you did, there was nothing you could do about it? That's the way the EU's Commission president, Romano Prodi, must be feeling right now.

The plans for the new, super EU are to be finalized and implemented under the incoming Italian presidency in the last half of 2003. And, wouldn't you know it, Italy's billionaire prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, is once again standing trial on corruption charges that could -- for the second time -- put and end to his right-wing government.

And, believe it or not, part of Berlusconi's defense is to blame the EU's Commission president, Romano Prodi, as being the person who is really responsible for his alleged crime (Read about it here). Evidently, Prodi got involved in some way with Berlusconi's business deal where the crime was supposed to have occurred -- something you know he now regrets.

You see, Prodi is already in a battle with certain heads of some of the larger EU member states. Prodi wants his Commission to be the seat of power in the new, super EU. These member states, however, think the Council -- where they have their control -- should be the seat of power.

And, if you've been following my commentaries, you know what I think. I think the Council is going to win this battle for control. The reason I feel this way is because the Council is where the EU's new 10-nation military alliance is located. And, the Bible tells us the old Roman Empire will be revived under an alliance of 10-kings. 

In fact, Berlusconi's dream is to be the one who signs the EU's new Treaty of Rome this December. The question now before us is to see if Berlusconi's government survives long enough for him to achieve his dream.

You see, if it does -- if Berlusconi's dream comes true -- Prodi's worst nightmare just might begin.

Like I said, I think Prodi may have stepped into something he now regrets.
