Owning a good chunk of our debt, owning several port terminals in this country, the missile technology that was sold them in the 1990's, controlling both sides of the Panama Canal, their support of marxist countries in Latin America, and their growing need for energy are reasons for concern.  I think in the future they will be our biggest threat.

Influence on what? \n\nEuropean policies have wide ranging implications for all member states in all sorts of fields - business, health and safety, educations, welfare rights, employment, inheritance, transport, building regulations, even down to the size of sugar lumps and teabags. \n\nNational policies need to take into account any Directives or Regulations from the EU and any decisions made in the European Courts but also include policies specific to the country concerned. At present, there is not as much steer from Europe over defence and foreign policy, well, at least until the constitution for Europe is accepted so national governments are comparatively free to devise their own policies in these areas. \n\nRegarding local government, responsibility for local tax gathering and spending has been devolved to local councils but I think you should consider devolution in Scotland for example as an indication of local government that has been devolved to the most local level. \n\nHope this was what you meant!

Its up in the air at the moment.  they have to meet certain requirement, prerequisites.. They do have things in their culture that Europe doesnt want in the union so there are talks and negotiations.  We should see something about it soon but not sure when.

Threats to national security are political, economic or military.  Political defense consists of having human rights, laws, free elections and a constitiution.  Economic defense consists of having balanced trade policies, a monetary framework and freedom to invest/work as one sees fit.  Military defense consists of having the intelligence, forces and alliances necessary to insure the nation survives.

I'd say one of the most pressing issues would include the US occupation of Iraq.  I'm sure you can find lots of historical data and speculations about the future conclusion.

Almost all the concern of the EU in the matter of privacy concerns data protection: http://www.cdt.org/privacy/eudirective/\n\nIf you want to see how the USA and the EU have tried to resolve the conflict in these matters, especially with regard to the USA PATRIOT Act and passenger verification demands, see the Web site of the US Mission to the EU: http://useu.usmission.gov/Dossiers/Data_Privacy/default.asp

To protect Life and Liberty. \n\nNo Terrorists in Iraq? Before the U.S. got there? \n\nAsk the Kurds. \n\nAsk The Shites.\n\nAsk The Kuwaitis.\n\nTerrorists terrorize.\n\nCheck out all the Countries in Africa.\n\nBut also check out Northern Ireland. \n\nCheck out all the Protestants and Catholics living in Europe who used to burn each other as Heretics.\n\nWould there be a U.S.A. without War?\n\nCould I state my opinion of the British in Ireland, Scotland or the Falkland Islands?

There are countries with great military might who do not hold the same values as the western democracies.\nAs global resources dwindle, the race is on!\nWe will always use diplomacy first of course. we have a duty to defend ourselves against those who would wage war upon us.\nthe overwhelming american nuclear threat can be thanked for protecting europe from soviet dominence during the cold war.\n\ntheodore roosevelt: speak softly and carry a big stick

THIS PROBABLY REQUIRES A LENGTHY ESSAY?!\n\nHOW IT HAS CHANGED \n\nFOR THIS YOU MAY WANT TO GO BACK 60 YEARS AT THE END OF WWII.  BASICALLY, EUROPE WAS SPLIT INTO TWO THE WEST (NATO) AND EAST (WARSAW PACT).  MILITARY BUILDUP ON BOTH SIDES GREW CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL THE END OF THE COLD WAR. \n\nTHEN WHEN THE IRON CURTAIN FELL AND COMMUNISM FAILED IN 1989, EUROPE REALLY BECAME A LARGE CONFEDERATION UNDER THE NEW EUROPEAN COMMON MARKET.  DEMOCRACY WAS FLOODED ALL THE WAY PAST WARSAW AND INTO RUSSIA.  IN 1994 I WAS IN PRAGUE THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND THEY ALREADY HAD A K-MART IN THE TOWN SQUARE! IT WAS MUCH DIFFERENT THAN OUR TRADITIONAL K-MART MORE LIKE A SAFEWAY OR A RALEYS SUPERMARKET.  NEW MARKETS  AND TRANSPORTATION OPENED FOR THE EAST.\n\nANYWHO, AS TIME PASSED AND THE EURO DOLLAR HAS BEEN ISSUED, A STRONGER UNION OF THE INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES ARE BINDING CLOSER TOGETHER THAT MAY EVENTUALLY FORM A UNITED EUROPE SOME YEARS TO COME.  \n\nMANY NEW CHALLENGES FACE MODERN EUROPE;\nIMMIGRATION HAS INCREASED, SPECIFICALLY FROM THE MIDDLE EAST, ECONOMIC DIVERSITY HAS BEEN CHALLENGING BETWEEN NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN EUROPE.  TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT HAS INCREASED,  THERE IS JUST SO MUCH ABOUT THESE EVENTS...TOO MUCH TO LIST.\n\nHOW IT HAS REMAINED THE SAME, THAT I KNOW OF:\n\nEACH REGIONAL AREA HAS MAINTAINED ITS OWN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE.  MOST EDUCATED PEOPLE SPEAK SEVERAL LANGUAGES OR AT LEAST TWO (MOTHER TONGUE AND ENGLISH).
