Interesting topic Silverbackman!I wonder how many Europeans believe that? As a European myself, I believe it is a loooooong way off. The UK seems more likely to become the 51st state of the US than part of a unified Europe!

Yeah I don't see the EU becoming a 'single federal republic' for a long time, if ever. The current trend is breaking apart rather than joining together. Some kind of joint/coordinated foreign policy might be quite nice, but I don't see that happening either. As was said, even before the enlargement the other year the EU was pretty diverse, ecomomically and culturally. The EU might become an economic superpower but not likely a political one.
