<What's your take on the EU constitution? Is it permanently dead?>

I doubt it's dead. In a couple of years there might be a new attempt to hold referenda, this time maybe labeled "EU core principles". Hopefully the weaknesses uncovered by the "No" in F and NL will be addressed in the meantime.

<Do you think the EU will ever be able to come together as a power to rival the US?>

Economically, maybe. But politically or militarily, no. The USA is one people with one language. Europe is a collection of nation states with a multitude of languages. I doubt it will ever be possible to pool the diverse backgrounds and attitudes to one force.

<Many Americans are pulling for it.>

Thanks - but more likely candidates are China or India.
