I found this article to be quite upsetting. Especially the part about France, Germany, and Belgium meeting to discuss strengthening their own militaries. I was already uncomfortable with the idea a united European economy with the sole purpose of countering the U.S. economy, but when they start talking about a united European military is when I really get concerned. I'm not one of those idiots boycotting French goods and ordering "liberty" fries with my burger, but I must admit I am deeply upset by the recent conduct of our so called "allies".
