Nobody in Europe likes anyone else in Europe! That's why the EU was preceded by a thousand years of war. The original core of the EU is essentially an agreement between Germany and France not to go to war with each other - heartily endorsed by the nations between them! Not because everyone liked each other but because war had become unacceptable. The biggest problem the EU as a whole had with the UK was the way the UK kept on demanding special treatment - and getting it. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith Odds and Ends at http://www.sohara.org/ For forms of government let fools contest Whate're is best administered is best - Alexander Pope
