Re: The United States of Europe
I don't think that the people of Europe are particularly enthusiastic about the EU being expanded beyond economics. The constitution has already been shot down in France, meaning that it will be years before an European Union constitution is ever ratified by all member states. Great Britain has even refused to use the Euro. Even with those problems, I think it is most likely that there will be a United States of Europe within our lifetimes.
May not be so good for the United States. Right now, the economy of the EU as a whole would be larger than the United States'. If there actually ever is a United States of Europe, and they actually do form one large continental government, then they will probably be more powerful than the United States. You know what kind of stuff that can lead to.
