Who'll carry Kosovo?
Article Abstract:
There is a need for the European Union (EU) to take on more of a military role in Europe. The EU has a larger population than the US, and a combined gross domestic product similar to that of the US. There is little desire for a European army in many countries. There is a need for governments in Europe to consider the return of Kosovan refugees, and for a broad strategy for the south east of Europe. Funding is needed to help many countries in the region, which are unready for EU membership but which would benefit from links with the EU.

Kosovo and commerce
Article Abstract:
The US is a dominant economic and military power at the end of the 20th century, and was a world leader at the start of that century. The US entered the 1914-1919 war in late 1918, and the 1939-1945 war in 1941, then became involved in wars in Korea and Vietnam. The US has put pressure on governments and organized coups, but has not been an overt colonizer to any great extent. The benefits of empire can thus be enjoyed without many of the costs involved.
