A European Army ?

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Way too many soveriegnty issues coming up in such an effort -- let alone the soluable but prickly logistic issues.

By-the-by, as France told NATO's unified command effort to go ___ up a rope, however do you think they'll play second fiddle to an EU military without even a cold war to lend a sense of need?

Might try getting an expansion of the role/purpose of Interpol, standardize emergency service providers and the like to build toward this end.
