Yes Mike, I understand. But I ask: what else is Europe (I mean the present 
theoretical "union" plus, virtually, the Russia) if not a direct, strong attempt 
to challenge the US? Since Iraqi war here, in this Europe, we realized
we do not have any military power, and any real political power. Did you
notice that? For sure you did. And we are closer to those ... eastern countries.
