I know what you are thinking but your terminology is incorrect. The EU is not an authoritarian system as you say. An authoritarian system would be like the one under Generalissimo Franco of Spain or Pinochet of Chile.

The EU seems like an authoritarian government of group thinking elites.

OK, let's call it a bureaucrat elitist run project, but given time and this Constitutional Treaty and I'm convinced that we would have something close to Vichy France - without the deportations of course.

I may be wrong, but I don't want to take the chance, so I hope they'll never get neither the time nor the treaty.

(Remember in Belgium the government ruled by decree a number of months to force the country into the EMU (the euro). Also, I have posted a number of articles on Tillack and press freedom in EU. Check them out.)

Could you perhaps take a moment and explain just what the EU is?

Because here's my concept, tell me where I'm wrong.

The EU is kind of like the United States only in Europe.

Though the EU wouldn't govern if I understand correctly. They'd be more a marketing/money/price type of thing. There would be rules that everyone would agree to it, like that.

I thought it sounded like a good thing. A big part of the reason the US is so sucessful is our size and unity without bother of fifty different barriers to commerce.

If I'm making any sense. Another thing, I hear that Turkey didn't agree to help us during the Iraq invastion because they wanted to be admitted to the EU.

Surely if membership is so coveted it must be a good thing?
