But there is no North American Union in the works, right?
"EU, southern neighbors look to build partnership"

BRUSSELS - Projects to clean up the Mediterranean Sea, establish new sea routes and highways, and harness solar energy could be at the heart of new European efforts to engage with southern neighbors, according to the first set of concrete proposals published yesterday.
Less than two months before the debut of a new Union for the Mediterranean, pioneered by President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, the European Commission sought to put its stamp on the plan with a series of recommendations.
While its call for big spending projects in the region will be welcomed in Paris, the document issued also proposes a further dilution of Sarkozy's original aim of giving the European Union's southern states a bigger role in the venture than northern EU counterparts.
That is just one of several issues that have provoked acute tension between Paris and Berlin since Sarkozy first outlined his "Mediterranean dream" last year, and said that the EU's southern states and their non-EU neighbors should "realize that their destinies are tied together."
Yeah, Nico is a GLOBALIST!! Of course, you readers already knew that!
What is not disputed is the thinking behind the plan: that previous initiatives have largely failed.
Because PEOPLE DON'T LIKE GLOBAL GOVERNMENT!!!!
That's why it is being SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS!!!!
European diplomats hope the new organization, known officially as the "Barcelona Process: Union for the Mediterranean," will give southern Mediterranean countries a greater stake because they will be on a level of parity with the EU. Critics say a central problem will remain: the diverse southern Mediterranean membership, which includes Syria and Israel.
That's who Nico works for.
Type in Sarkozy and do a search, readers.
The document released yesterday called for improved maritime and road infrastructure, including a new road to link the Arab states of North Africa."
Like the TRANS-NATIONAL CORRIDOR that is being built in Texas?
