It's called economic interdependence. The US is little different than the Europe when it comes to it.

I agree with what you're saying here but the above statement isn't at all complete...

You should have added the fact that the American people are given missinformation on a regular basis concerning the need, objective and effects of a war against Iraq.

They aren't telling all they know, just what sounds good to strengthen their position...some see through the smoke screen, some don't.

Missinformation abounds in Dubyas administration...not saying it's any different in a Dem. controled Whitehouse mind you.

Seeing Ari Mouthpiece duck and dodge hard questions IS entertaining in a sick kind of way.

Heh, aye Frenchy.

Verm, all good points. If you lived in Europe I think you'd get a better understandsing of just how pervasive the EU is. It's not a paper monster. There are individual differences, aye, but they're solved democratically. Denmark, a tiny country, has three times voted 'no' to stuff and then had new stuff entered into the contracts. It's doable.

Perhaps there's a lot of hatred between different nationalities in the older generation. In my generation however, that is largely gone. My father and mother might not have a cultural identity as a European but more limited to 'European from a specific country', but I do. And I think most in my generation do.

China and India - sure they're threats. But they're still way behind Europe despite their numbers. Sure they're economies are exploding forwards, but don't count yer eggs til ya crossed the road. The potential is not the actual. A steady economic growth is sustainable, whereas an explosive one is more prone to violent ups and downs.

Heh, US is a distant 22 when it comes to foreign aid percentage of GNP. DK is, as it has been the last five years or so, number one

PFFFTHH. We're morally more just than you PTTFHH.

I definitely agree here. My generation is more culturally aware than ever before - we speak more languages, have more contact with other nationalities, travel Europe more.

The old hatreds will be much diminished in 50 years. It's going to be a long road to further integration - but it needs to be, for stability.

David, you've already been awarded your Elfenwolf Troll Medal once- sorry, but we can't award it to you again. We can, however, give you a Combat M for Misinformed.

I doubt it. I think Im a generation younger than you (I'm 28), and lets just say that there's not that much cultural awareness going on from my side

Maybe it moves in cycles? After ww2 people became sick of war and they tried to generally be nice and understanding towards others (50s-generation). Then came the hippy generation (60s), and they didnt really care about anything except getting stoned. Then came my generation (70s), and it seems that all we do is care about money...and the generation that came after us (80s)...they are just weird..communists and obscure retro-hippies OR complete slackers growning up thinking that living on welfare is the norm etc.

ANYWAY, my point is that ever since the 60s people have become more egocentric, and for every generation this just seems to be getting worse and worse.

No we, or at least I and some others, think they are arrogant and hypocrites because of stuff like the following. I leached this from AGW, thanks Cabby....

Imperialist France: Get Out Of Africa
Anti-French Protests Swell Over Ivory Coast Accord
By REUTERS

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (Reuters) - Stone-throwing mobs attacked the French Embassy and army base in Ivory Coast Sunday as thousands marched in an explosion of anger over a peace accord they said France had imposed to the advantage of rebels.

The massive protests underlined the problems facing the power-sharing deal agreed by President Laurent Gbagbo in Paris Saturday to end the four-month war that has split the world's top cocoa producer along ethnic lines.

Soldiers from the former colonial power used teargas and riot-control stun grenades to drive demonstrators from their military base in Abidjan and from the French embassy, where marchers started a small fire and damaged the gate.

"They keep on trying to get in and we keep pushing them back,'' said French Lieutenant-Colonel Ange-Antoine Leccia.

From Paris, Gbagbo appealed for calm and defended the accord, saying that he had no choice but to compromise. He promised to return home after a meeting with West African leaders who gave their own nod to the deal.

"When you do not win the war you discuss and compromise. I did not win the war,'' Gbagbo said.

Ivory Coast was plunged into crisis by a coup attempt on September 19. The putsch failed, but ensuing civil war has left hundreds dead, displaced more than one million and split the country of 16 million along ethnic lines.

The nerve of these arrogant French to intervene in another countries' "civil war". And with violence no less. Where's the UN "resolution" authorizing this action??? Who do these racist Europeans think they are??? PEACE NOW!!!

Cabby

So it's ok for France to meddle in other countries affairs but not the US?

The French say they don't want this war with Iraq. Some of them say it's about the US need for oil. Well in actuality they take this stance because they don't want to lose the business contracts they have with this murderous dictators regeim. I find it all to ironic that France teams up with Germany to stop the US from liberating a country from a dictator. What if the US had taken this attitude in 1944? We should have stopped after we helped Brittain and Italy then started doing business with Hitler.

You must be the "stereotype" generation.

Welfare is giving the big oil companies command of our military and kids to secure their oil.(about 50 billion)

Help the American farmer, go Biodiesel.
Did you know the first diesel fuel was biodiesel, but oil was more abundant and cheaper, my how times have changed. If you think this isn't about oil, think long and hard when summer comes(vacation time) and they up the price of gas cause they got you by the nads.

Nah, I think we are "the cynical generation" or something like that. The ones who came after us are "the generation that doesnt give a flying f*ck". After them came "the weird generation that skipped history class" (I mean why else would they be drifting back to communism and other failed ideas)

Anyway, maybe the prospects of living on welfare is a bit better in Europe than in the US? I mean we dont have that many big oil companies here anyway, and besides, we dont have that much military either for them to command around.

Just out of curiosity, I wonder what the oil companies will do when oil runs out in 30-40 years or so. Not that I care, but shouldnt they be planning for stuff like that.

And I do wonder what the arabs will do when their only source of income dries up...*sniff* is that...*sniff* *sniff* yes, I think I smell a war coming.
