There have been way too many conflicts in Europe over the last century for them not to. It saves money and saves lives and could eventually lead the EU to be the biggest superpower over the United States.

Mainly because of French anti-Americanism. As an earlier poster said, they want to create an economy to rival USA.
Britain would be better off out of the EU, or else the EU should forget political unification and return to being a common market only.

Because we'd rather be unified than at war, as we pretty much were throughout the last millennium.
Moreover, it has a great deal of economic benefits.
Personally I believe all humanity should strive toward unification and less boundaries between one-another.

Movements towards European unitification are fundamantally an extension of the long-standing political and military concept of collective security. There are certainly economic advantages to this as well as political, but it can in no way be interpreted as an economic or political power grab. The EU is composed of many independant countries and these are capable of following independant policies within the Union and externally and do so very often.

Yes. I am known as a perfectionist. It doesn't always sit well with others. But I strive for the common good, not just what favors me.

Europeans wanted to unite in order to have a strong economic bloc against the US and other superpowers.

The government and people sometimes fail to see the global advantages while the perception of the cost and the protection of special interests is local.

Their main goal is to create an economy that matches or overtakes the US in size....with size of economy comes the ability to control world policy
