2001-12-16 You don't understand how most Americans think. When you feel that you are better than everone else. When you feel that you are the best in the world at everything. When you feel your shit doesn't stink. Need I go further? Then you don't change your ways to those of others. You make others do it your way.
The US is nothing more than a spoiled, rotten, arrogant child. Instead of the attacks on 2001-09-11 humbling this nation it made the US even more arrogant and full of itself. The only way for the US to be put in its place and become a team player and not the neighbourhood bully is for someone bigger and stronger to come along and put the bully in its place. The EU, if it doesn't blow it, can be that someone. The new EU has the capacity to outshine the dollar and weaken the US economy to a point where the US will have no choice but to compromise on international issues. Issues that benefit the whole of mankind, not just one nation that only cares about the rest of the world when the world is on its knees kissing it's ass. The other issue is the Laeken Conference on the unification of Europe. With the addition of 10 nations by about 2005, the population of the EU will exceed 500 Mpeople. In unifiying, the EU will be larger and richer than the US. And if the EU is successful, when the 2010 deadline approaches for EU 80/181 to come into effect, the then unified strong EU power can then tell the TABD a resounding NO when they request a further extension. And hopefully, the EU will be able to pressure its friends and associate countries in the world to outlaw FFU and isolate America to a point it will have no choice but to change or become a very depressed state economically. We can only hope!
