But unlike European countries, America has never finished a map of the United States, only the eastern United States is covered and a few spots here and there.

There aren't many people who say that Europe is a territory, or Asia is a territory - it'd be suicide. And there are even more people in America than in Europe. I think it's strange, really. I basically see it as loads of different places.

I don't think massification and globalization and all those other 'izations' are necessarily hostile to regionalism.

I'd rather live in the U.S. than Europe.

The United States being in Asia is unambiguously a good thing for the region.

There is no part of the world that is irrelevant to the United States anymore.

Europe must act quickly where it's needed and must, once and for all, let member states handle what is their exclusive domain.

In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world.

The United States have no possessions in the east and do not desire to have any, as other countries do.

Above all it is important to point out that we can only maintain our prosperity in Europe if we belong to the most innovative regions in the world.
