Who I am

[12th Doctor]

You pose an interesting question, who do you want to be ruled by, Bush or Chirac.

If Europe came together, and the USA did something crooked or stupid, if Europe is well connected and allied, they could boycott US products together, etc.

Also, the EU helps with making trade easier between European countries, which will improve productivity.

Basically, the goal is to make europe powerful enough to stand up to a bullying USA.

[sarcasm]Yeah... you know, because we are such bullies.[/sarcasm]
