If you're so sure this is the case then why was there such opposition in Europe over passing the new EU constitution a few months ago? Wasn't the concept of the European Union SUPPOSED to be just about creating better trade prospects for that region?......think just maybe some folks figured out the promises of greater free trade was just a bait and switch to create a new political entity at the expense of national sovereignty?

I thought the idea was stopping Germany from invading France again?
