Do you realize how many years it took to get this one????If the Constitution gets rejected the EU is in a whole lot of trouble...

Does anyone honestly believe that the EU could coordinate its efforts in a non economic arena? Will one country willingly bow to the majority on an issue that they are terribly opposed to? If not, they mean little.
Just as the Soviet Union fell, America is falling. So is Western civilization. The modern world ate it up. :m:
"US,UK,China,Russia are bankrupt has beens" China?? A bankrupt has been?? Get Help. You make it sound like the EU is some superpower! *NEWSFLASH* The EU has no offensive Military Capabilty. With China's growing economic power you will not even be able to claim that distinction *sigh*. Enjoy 3rd place.
I do, having been to Europe I can tell you that economic co-operation will tie the union together, it always does that is the basic premise of free trade to make two states interests into one. Don't underestimate the power of the market here, it is only a matter of time before Europe gets its intergrated defence force, and it will ratify the EU constitution soon. Europe's power it must also be understood is not with its military its with its economic might, it is far superior to the US in terms of investments, trade, and will and is seriously challenging the US hegemony economically, and with a emerging ad hoc alliance with China the US has to seriously contemplate its relationship with nations like India.
America is still the most powerful country but the world seems to be banding against America and this is much the result of the Iraq war.
Ummm.... Odin. I think you read that wrong. I believe he said that everyone in banding against the US BECAUSE of Desert Storm 2.0... not DUE to it.
ohhhh ok that explains it .. lets hope thats what he ment. but alas " but the world seems to be banding against America and this is much the result of the Iraq war." i think he ment exactly what i thought he did. read it carefully.
America has to accept that the era of a single world superpower is passing and it should accept that sooner rather than later.
actually the era of singe world superpower started very recently and will be here for a while, the days of multi superpowers is long gone. America needs to realise that continuing along this road is not very healthy.
The single world superpower model does not work except when a nation has natural resources to plunder as the USA did, AND starts out with a high grade of population (which the USA did - educated, independent thinkers). Now that both of those are attenuated, the future of the USA is Brazil or India. Goodbye, and good fucking riddance.
