I am an American, I love Europe and I think the EU has serious problems. The challenges of merging so many diverse cultures and national identities is daunting. The progress has been good but some of the problems are showing now as each member country tries to identify and define it's international policies.

The statement by Jacque Chirac in the past few weeks threating new members of the EU can undermine a good thing.

One more note regarding currency and other economic issues. The US is paying an economic proce for financing 60 years of protecting Europe from the Soviet Union. US Taxpayers shouldered most of the bill for defending Western Europe. The other side buckled under the economic pressure.
