hmmm. 1 Euro = .997 dollars.

Sounds like they could almost plug in US stats for everything in that article.

I think the only losers are the germans, whose got shafted by converting to Euros.

In any event, I'm sure they're mad they don't have the dollar rendered worthless. They just might be running scared...no wonder they don't want to allow Turkey in. But then again according to several people on FR, Turkey never has tried to join the EU. In fact they got angry when I mentioned it. weirdos.

Turkey is certainly trying to enter the EU. They've applied for membership in the next round of candidates quite publically and officially.

I'll back you up on that.
