I think this is a classic case of being born a European and living for far too long outside of Europe. It is easy to look back a remember ' the good old days ' of European Culture and its quaint ways but we should be looking foward and making sure that we are united. The EU is the only way foward for a broken Europe that needs to be united in order to have a chance of making its own choices in this world without having other more powerful unions of states pushing it around. A federal Europe with one army, one navy one foreign policy and so on would ensure that we are taken seriously and can do business with the likes of China without having the Americans telling us how do behave. Remember Rome and what that acheived.
