Remember the old saying, "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts?" I think the European Union is about to receive one. Comments?
Well, look at the bright side. If Greece goes is bankrupt, then the Euro gets pretty weak. The Euro brings down Europe and screws up their economy, bringing down customer demand and industrial activity.
The European economy then screws up the American economy in the same way. End result - gas prices go down since there is no industrial demand for fuel.

Denjord - the real problem is the Euro - it should never have come into use without the political and financial planning pieces in place. The Euro was a dumb idea without any political backing.
This is what you get when you pay for everyone in your country to live off the system. You have to have a work force much greater then the recipients.
It's not so much the 'system' as it is Europe itself. There are just too many nationalities to keep a tight rein on. The EU was hoping for homogenization, and all they got for their effort was sour milk.

Yes, Hitler's war was an attempt at a European Union, but it was not just an attempt because he intended to impose superiority of one ethnic group and had a rather cruel idea of how to go about it. In any case, Hollywood, and American TV shows have a better chance of "stripping countries of their rich and diverse cultures" than any war or political agreement ever could. Cultures are remarkably resilient, but can also be cannibalistic on occasion.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
