I have no doubt we would invite the US if we thought they might join. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Anyway, one reason we need Turkey is because of our aging populations. Not just in Western Europe, but in the intire EU. In 2050, the average European will be 52 years old whereas the average American will be only 36. Needless to say, that won't do our economy much good. Fortunately, Turkey has an extremely young population. We'll need their labour when we're all stuck in retirement homes.
