EU debt deal may be divisive for Europe ... Heads of state in Europe are
congratulating each other for agreeing to a deal that will force fiscal
discipline on European Union countries and impose sanctions on those
that stray from the budget diktats of EU regulators. But the pact
drafted largely by Germany and France and agreed to over dinner and

forcing nations to choose between further European integration or
disintegration. Leaders of 23 of the EU's 27 nations agreed Friday to be

miss preordained targets on spending and borrowing. Britain declined to
join the pact, while Czech Republic, Hungary and Sweden said they would
have to seek approval from national parliaments. ? USA Today
