#2 Fact is the Europeans have thousands of years of history and culture and not everyone is ashamed of it and hoping to whitewash everything in a homogenized new Europe.

Others might look at their history of wars with the Germans and French trying to take over Europe, and wonder why they should hand soveriegnty over to them now.

Can't say I blame them. I think a common market is probably a good idea but unification shouldn't be rushed. What's the hurry?

#3 the Europeans have thousands of years of history and culture

That's the very reason the eu is doomed. Too many prejudices, too much tribal hate, too many wars and petty feuds fought by them.

#4 An unelected, socialist government dominated by corrupt, statist elites. Those who think the ~~French~~ Europeans are behaving as our enemies should wish this project well, for its inevitable effects.

#5 "The Union eventually will agree its new constitution. But what it really needs is political leaders"

Well, according to this other article on rantburg today US joins Iraqis to seek UN role for interim rule, it's clear that the EU needs to seek a UN role to establishing their leaders and constitution.
