...could find themselves fighting? The U.S. and Europe, says Hanson. He points ominously to "the specter of a pan-European state (that) seems to create unity among its members by collective antagonism and envy of the United States...
Boeing's taunts obscure the quiet transformation of Airbus from a sort of pan-European employment agency to a savvier, profit-driven company. The 30-year-old manufacturer was the first to introduce a sophisticated fly-by-wire system (where the pilot's actions send electronic signals, rather than pulling cables, to maneuver the plane) and adopt virtually uniform cockpits for its entire fleet (thereby lowering the cost of pilot training).

Expanding access to the good life, for instance, depends on the preservation of Europe's open market and the easy availability of such delights as French wine, Belgian beer, Italian pasta and Spanish beaches.
