Maybe. Maybe not. Most likely not. The CFR did actually post goals such as these on its website. Perhaps it is supposed to be an answer to the EU. However, I've always found that the best laid plans do go astray. Individualism (both noble and insane types) throw wrenches into the works and American is still nationalistic enough to protest such plans. We nationalistic types also have friends in Canada, as well as many liberal Canadians who dislike us enough to work against it. ;)
