The Europeaun Union is drafting a new constitution. A new superpower is being born. By May, there will be 25 member states, possibly more in the future. The EURO is already worth more then the dollar. History is being made. Many say, this is the new Roman Empire predicted in the Bible. Is there any truth to that or are people just afraid of change? I seem to think the latter however in the new European policy debate the Commission would operate differently. Only 15 countries at one time would have voting rights. Europe is aiming to have one foreign policy and one defense force. Individual countries may lose their power to veto certain legislation, except in areas of defense, taxation, and foreign policy. Perhaps most interesting, is the President of the Union will be voted in by the leaders of the member states. One can't help but wonder what role this new Europe will take on the world stage and is there room enough for two super powers?
