Not as long as they continue to espouse liberal agendas. The growing environmentalist movement alone will remove any chance for prosperity. (BTW, tomorrow is some kind of "no cars" day across many European cities. Nice.)

We have yet to even see recationary nationalist movements across the countries of europe. It will happen and it could be taken by the right or even more left groups. No way in hell will all of those nations come together as one let alone be able to be another "superpower".

It will happen and it could be taken by the right ...

Never. Europe is nowhere near being taken by the right. Shroeder is a Marxist as are the French and anyone else in Europe. Jacques Chirac is considered "the right" in France, and he once sold the Communist newspaper outside of Paris Metro stations.

The right in Europe is still to the left of American Democrats.

...ooops. Forgot the Italians. Silvio Berlusconi is not a leftist.

Neither is Haider or LePen, but the left has ruined them via illicit means.

Incidentally, the Euro left always accuses the right of espousing violent methods, however there are only two politicians in Europe in this century who have been killed or wounded through acts of violence resulting from their political views. Both are considered "far right" and both have been violently attacked by the left.
LePen has a glass eye as the result of a beating at the hands of leftists.
Pim Fortuyn was murdered by a left wing extremist.
