Ted, like I said before, it will take at least two generations before Europeans start thinking of themselves as Europeans first and Frenchmen/Englishmen/Germans/Dutch second. Just look at the "Confederacy," for example. ;-) Tenchusatsu P.S. - Ever been to Virginia?

Re: It has 25 member states, making it the world's largest single market,... And what of India's one billion consumers? China's 1.3 billion? Re: [Europe] has 450 million citizens, a Parliament, a Convention on Human Rights that states must sign as a condition for membership. Most members share a common currency, the euro. Likewise, the United Nations has 190+ member-states, a General Assembly, a UN Charter that states must sign as a condition for membership. Most UN members share a common currency, the US$. Hence my suggestion to rechristen the EU the UNE, ie the United Nations of Europe. Re: While the European Union divided over the Iraq war,... Indeed, and the next war against Iran will break it up completely and utterly. Gus
