France rejects EU constitution

i personally feel it is as flawed and destined for failure as the League of Nations. i don't have any specific facts or figures, just a gut feeling.

individual nation states giving up their ability to do what is in their own best interests on individual issues for the primary purpose of building a global powerblock to offset the dominance of the US. i just don't see it working.

when the US was formed it was difficult enough even with 1) fewer people involved, 2) less interruption to current systems, 3) the individuals in SC were multinational as were the people in NY, so old ethnic and national jealousies weren't as ingrained, 4) the federal gov't was necessary for national survival, i.e. defense, commerce, etc.
