freedom of press in europe

[--Pete]

Hi,

With the creation of the EU, is it really true that the US is the world´s only superpower?

Yes. The fundamental law of mushing -- all the dogs need to pull in the same direction.

Their currency is widely used internationally, and may come to rival the US dollar as the world currency.

Operative word there is "may".

People talk a lot about China as the up and coming superpower, but I think the EU will be deserving of that title much sooner, especially if there´s a trend towards increasing control by the European Parliament, acting as a unified diplomatic entity.

Time will tell. I did not say that the USA *had been* the only super power nor that it *would be* the only super power. I only said it is. And that I maintain.

So, maybe we´d all better study up. I should know more than I do, considering I´m now a resident. But it´s a very large shift, trying to get a handle on the politics of such a huge and diverse area. Plus, being a US politics junkie as well, I only have so many hours in a day to waste. :P

Precisely my point, except that in my case those politics effect me very directly.
