Remember that EU states are independent, with many differences, unlike the US model where different states are autonomous but are united under one country. <br /><br />The UN got awarded a Peace Prize (the one awarded on 2001 illustrates my point best, I guess) does this mean that every country participating in the UN got the prize? Then I guess we awarded some dictators with peace prizes, which I guess is really really bad.<br /><br />I guess it is easy to forget now, but try to remember the state of Europe in the 50's . The EU (and its precedessors that it evolved from) played a fundamental part in uniting Europe and make it more or less a conflict-free zone.
