Funny is, that now most of the information I wrote there became reality.

I think I agree. I've only been to Europe a handful of times, but the differences between the US and Europe are huge. The US is one country with one government. Europe is nearly 30 countries with 30 governments - and very different goals, needs, and wants. On top of all of this, sixty years ago all of these countries were at war with each other. While they can talk about how great they get along, I doubt that a German will ever be the leader of the UK.
I do see a time when we have regional governments - North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, etc. It just makes sense. But we aren't there yet.
