    However, the nation state is still the only viable way to govern and live with people, I feel (almost) no affiliation with most Europeans, the current economic crisis has shown that most Germans and Frenchmen would agree on that point.

    Why would you want aglobal hegemony in the frist place? When something goes wrong, it is a case of when and not if, we will have nowhere to go except to the gun rack.
