Lothar, if our democracy lacks the political cohesion and longevity to address long term issues (20 - 30 years away) how do you think the EU will do?? To paraphrase an old TV show 'a rag tag bunch of political states seeking to escape the menace of the evil cylons - errr, America" They lasted 24 42 minute episodes which is about all you can expect the EU to hang together for unless the US gives them a good reason to stay together, ala Bismarck. We're still the big dog on the block and need to second guess ourselves as if we are.
