Most Europeans? Surely not....Seems popularity of the EU is dropping and has been:
"Eu's Popularity Waning in Europe"

www.news.scotsman.com...
Excerpt:
"For the first time in six years, less than half of European Union citizens believe EU membership is a �good thing,� according to early results of a poll released today.
The number of people favouring EU membership dropped by 6% since spring to 48%, the lowest level since 1997.
Of those polled by Eurobarometer, 46% said the EU personally benefits them, a drop of 4% from spring, while the respondents disliking EU membership rose by 5% to one third overall.
Less than half of respondents favoured expansion of the EU, a level unchanged since the last poll.
Strong support for the euro, at 70%, fell by five points in the same period.
The European Commission blamed the confidence slump on economic woes."
Talking economic problems....Germany and France, both of which have substantial deficits, again, both of which breach the EU Deficit Treaty Limits, and both are seeking to have these absolved......
The EU is growing economically at half the rate that the US is currently growing.
On top of that, you have increasing anti-semitism ever growing within its boundries....
What amazes me is that the EU will have 25 members and its little ole' TWO that are holding the constitution up (Spain and Poland)?! 2 nations don't make a majority, do they? Seems to me that France and Germany are running the show...and any educated Pole would be very, very cynical of those two...memories of Franco-Prussian comes to mind....
This is nothing but more whining from the France and Germany camps in wanting to reduce the combined SPain and Polish votes of 27, which is still less than the combined Germany and France total votes of 29.....but lets see....they want to further decrease Spain's and Poland's voting by making a new voting arrangement??
Poland and Spain simply do not want to cut their rights on what they feel they deserve, and that is simply that every citizen and nation is counted and represented fairly. The sovereignty of a nation or state, just as the rights of an individual or citizen, is by rights, not up for any kind of compromise.
Does make you wonder why Poles have been preferring America as a place for immagrating to for the last 200 years or so........

Any proof of that? I really hate that so many US citizens like to mark Germany or Europe in general anti-semitic but most don't even know more than the name of those.

Don't fear that the EU becomes anti-semitic. It's just anti-current-israeli-government.
And europeans can differ between Israelis, the jewish religion and the government.

2) Now listen and read carefully
3) It doesn't take much to realize it is not about revenge but about basic principes of democracy.
