Is it just me, or are the Europeans beginning to develop some unified sense of "national" identity? To me, this seems a pleasant change from them being at each other's throats, but is there any chance of them developing the same swagger as America in times to come? For a while, it seemed the US was the economic big cheif, but it's increasingly looking like a three-horse race between the US, Europe, and Asia. Even with the borders between directly neighboring countries eroding away, it seems that the nation-state isn't so much on its way to demise as toward something of a change in size, location, and number. Do the countries of Europe still identify themselves strictly individualistically, or is there something to my perception of them as developing a common step, bark, and bite?
