Analysis: EU mulls Swastika ban - (United Press International)

British Prince Harry's dim-witted decision to wear a Swastika-emblazoned uniform to an upscale fancy dress party earlier this month has sparked a furious debate about whether the EU should ban Nazi insignia across the bloc. On Thursday, as heads of state from over 40 countries assemble in Auschwitz to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the notorious extermination camp, members of the European Parliament will debate a resolution calling for public displays of Nazi symbols to be outlawed across the continent. The following day, justice and interior ministers from the EU's 25 member states will meet in Luxembourg to mull over such a ban.
