" ...I am from Europe and the only reason Turkey is not part of the union is because it is a Muslim country ... I personally think that Turkey should be in the union and most people I know feel the same... "

Well, I'm from Europe too and you're totally wrong when you say the only reason Turkey is kept out is "because is is a Muslim country.” Some 90% of Albanians are Muslims too and they're already applying for the EU membership yet no one seems to be protesting. I've lived in 4 different European countries and from my perspective the vast majority of people I'd talked to disagree with your sentiment.

" ...The union is not just France and Germany and the sooner they figure that out the better. The way the union has been going was rejected by the Irish (the only country to vote on the new treaty) and now they need to change there close minded agenda... "

So who is it or rather, which country’s leadership needs to "change their close minded agenda"? Is it Germany and France or are you talking about Ireland? Also, is that truly a "close minded agenda" or does it simply differ from your "wide-open minded agenda"?

You are correct that the Irish were the only ones to vote on the new "semi-constitution" and they also rejected it. According to the polls most Irish felt, among many other things, that the EU was expanding too fast and that it should put the expansion plans on hold for the foreseeable future; so are you saying the Irish are close minded now?

" ...Canada and USA already work together closely and Mexico would not add anything to that... "

Interesting... So I guess the Europeans don't want to let Turkey in because "they are Muslim" yet you don't think Mexico would "add anything" because... they are all Catholics? Right? You see, that's not logical either. Don't discount the view of the vast majority of Europeans (Gallup after Gallup) as “close minded” simply because their views are contrary to your personal beliefs.


Either way, I'd rather go back to the original topic - I think we should be building wind power plants all over the US!!!
