Übergeek 바둑이: At least some of the lesson was learned, and now we have the European Union. It is not a perfect union, but at least the superpowers are not at each other throats any more. The fact that they are willing to welcome Slavs into the Union means that some of the old prejudices are slowly dying, and people still feel shame in the killing of Jews and Gypsies.

The creation and existence of the European Union has never had anything to do with war endeavors and war lust of the superpowers. You are absolutely off-base there.

Plus, the EU was never meant to be a "perfect" union and nobody wants it to be. I would like people from the North America to stop comparing the US union and the EU. There is nothing they have in common. Nothing.

The fact that they are willing to welcome Slavs into the Union means that some of the old prejudices are slowly dying, and people still feel shame in the killing of Jews and Gypsies.

What old prejudices? And what has the admission of the Slavic countries to the EU to do with the holocaust???
