Good point. I'm kinda glad they aren't that aggressive because who do  
you think they'd come after first? In fact, I think the reason they  
accomplish so little is not that they have no balls. It's because deep  
down, they think rape, slavery, and genocide are only crimes if  
perpetrated by capitalists. For everyone else, they'll just kinda get  
to it when they get to it (which is never).
Why some in the US hate the EU so much I don't know, but I'd guess  
it has something to do with disliking anyone who could potentially  
challenge the US as the world's *only* superpower - whether it be a  
united Europe, China, or Australia armed with nuclear powered  
Kangaroos and sharks with laser beams :) (we could do it you know -  
don't try and stop us!)
Free societies aren't a threat to one another. We don't like the EU  
because of their complete disregard for individual rights. It was  
conceived of and implemented by socialists. It's that simple.
