Actually, the biggest danger is the Americanisation of Europe, which 
nobody wants. Really, the French aren't stopping being annoying and 
Gallic just because of the Euro. Nor are the Germans stopping being 
methodical, precise and - well German! Same with the Spanish, Brits, 
Italians and everyone else. Isolationism generally is a politcal 
philosphy folled in many other places in the world these days. Maybe N. 
Korea?

As for an International Court - hmmm - I guess the countries who oppose 
it probably have good reason to fear they may be hauled before it one 
day...

Though they seem happy to meddle endlessly in other countries internal 
affairs?

Okay - over to the Lug Forum
