no I think the trend is the opposite, the French would never allow that much foreign influence and would never give up their own military-w/o that Europe will never become a single superstate..

If in 2 years, Obama/Democrats still havn't gotten out of Iraq or shows no sign of stopping the billions the US is spending there and Afghanistan(which he is increasing the commitment to) and the economy is still in recession with high unemployment--even as the government can find enough money to pay for these wars..thats the kind of thing that will start people looking at a more progressive political movement-which goal is to end the 2 party system in which both parties have the same policies.. something like that will get america on the path or real reform.

Thats how the US was originally suppose to be. The federal government wanted more power and slowly took it. The same will happen to the EU. Eventually the members states will have as much sovereignty as Rhode Island has in our union.

It was my understanding the French were wanting to be the dominate power of the EU. The EU would be merely the extension of French power. They would control and dominate the EU and eventually be the overriding power if you will, this would take many years of course.

I could be way off on this I have had my head buried in science books the past few years and have not been able to keep up on the world political theater as much as I wanted.
