It may be the case that I am an IR elitist, and so I beg your forgiveness for what is probably my being a little bit too harsh here.

But what have you been freebasing and where might I find some?

The European Union is militarily speaking, impotent.  As a matter of High Politics, the EU is as much a failure as the UN.  The European Parliament which is the principal organ of the organization is largely secular-humanist.  (There was in fact a huge debate about the extent to which the EU would include mention of a common christian faith in, I believe it was the failed constitution.)

The fact is that war between most European Countries, the United States, and Japan is virtually unthinkable.  These states form a "Security Community" among whom there is little incentive, and further, great expense in going to war.  (I suggest you look at Robert Jervis (2002) "Theories of War in an Era of Leading-Power Peace," American Science Review)

You make it sound like soon Jesuit-Inquistor led German hordes will be flooding out of Europe with conversion and conquest on their insane nuclear-oblivious catholic minds. 

Really, where'd you get it?
