Just one quick question... don't you have to have an EU to defend first?

I think this discussion is funny - especially given the lastest round of base closings that went around. The European Nations that have United States Military Bases were lobbying and playing politics as strong as any of the states that have military bases.

Yes by all means let Europe defend itself - it will interesting to watch, and they might even get it right this time, after how many years of trying and failing in the accomplishment of defending themselves as a contientent?
