    I'm sorry did I miss somthing? A huge reason for the EU, is precisly because europe wants/needs to detach itself from the the US as much as possible. The US has not been some kind of benevolent smiling uncle who's finally taught his niece how to walk, it's been more like some crazy thing that the here in europe we all feel like distancing ourself from. The point of the EU is that right now there is only one super-power in the world, and when it makes a poor choice (as all human organisations are capable of doing sooner or later), the divded nations of the rest of the world do not have enough clout to even make them listen! America as the "father country" of the west is being more and more synically regarded the world over - we need shelter from what their next policy might be! A single super power might be ok if it's governement was totally upright, with an unfailing passion to do what is right, not what is easy. A government which delights in the truth, is full of compassion, is always fair and trustworthy, and wise. Problem is that the US hasn't had that for a very long time [we havn't either, but that's not the point]. Currently the US does not have a governemnt of that caliber, and given enough free time this nation in it's freedom becomes more and more volatile, and less and less trustworthy. That is why I feel that the UK should take up the Euro - we will rebalance our foreign investment more towards the continent - for political reasons as much as economic ones.

      You have made a common mistake. Because I support fighting terrorism and because the current administration is republican, people think I am a conservative.
