Why the European Union Fails
Have a look at this story!
Since about 1865 or so, people living south of Canada and North of Mexico haven't considered themselves Texans, or Virginians, or Dakotans, or Utahns so much as they've considered themselves Americans. There's no trace of such a phenomenon in Europe, and that's why the European Union constitution encountered strong resistance, even in the nations that approved it. Now, this particular issue of the satellite network isn't directly related to that, but it shows a symptom of the larger issue, which is the inherent inability (and appropriately so, if you ask me) of people on the European continent to see themselves as something they aren't.
Transport Minister Manfred Stolpe said Tuesday that Germany could cut its funding for the European satellite navigation system Galileo if the consortium in charge of the operation refuses to involve more German companies.
The finance and business news service AFX quoted Stolpe as saying, 'If an agreement to bring more business back to Germany isn't found, the entire Galileo project will be threatened'.
