On the other hand, there are certainly record setting tensions, rising daily. How long CAN one not act?

I figure it will start with a big nationalist reaction to something like the Paris car burnings. In one country - could be France, Germany, one of the Beneluxes, or some other place I'm not thinking of - a hard-line Nationalist party will be "swept into power", as the history books say, and the imported minorities of Euroland will start getting it in the neck. Oppression and disfavoritism will blossom into a full-grown pogrom somewhere, local Islamic and other forms of terrorism and banditry will increase and the really creative places will go Yugoslavia and start killing each other wholesale.
Euroland in general, being powerless to stop such a thing, will ignore it for as long as they think possible, then pick the side guaranteed to cause the longest and largest problem.
That's how I see it anyway. Never underestimate the capacity of the Euros to stack each other like cordwood every few decades.
