On the contrary it is the long term solution to politics in Europe.
I'm not sure how long you consider long but it's going on 50 or so years now and with the lisbon treaty and more countries joining the euro i struggle to see how it isn't the long term solution.

Europe is still in a state of trauma following the two world wars of the 20th century. The idea of close relations was created out of a knee-jerk reaction to these catastrophic events. This agreement will slowly break down over time.

Except it hasn't. If anything it has brought nations together. 27 nations to be exact.

Its just like going out on a Friday night and getting completely hammered. You wake up the next morning with no memory, and puke the entire day. What is the first thing you say? I will never drink again. But the following Friday, your buddies call you up and you do the same thing.
Europe is still in a massive hangover/shock. Eventually relations will get icy again.

Icy how?
Do you think another world war is going to happen with Germany once again trying to take over the world. __________________
