War, what it is good for! Absolutely, nothing! Enjoy Edwin Starr's video above.
Not according to the Italian Foreign Minister who wants the European Union to create a European Army! I guess if the European Union is going to be a pseudo United States of Europe, it should have its own military! Not! This is just a furtherance of the military industrial complex, but this time as a part of the European Union.
I don't buy it. The European Union does not need to form a European Army to determine how to allocate the respective member countries' troops into the battlefields. That could be accomplished through multi-party and country agreements. Earlier in the article, Frattini does indeed say that Europe faces irrelevancy if it does not create this new army.

It was a "necessary objective to have a European army", Mr. Franco Frattini, the Italian Foreign Minister said. "Take Afghanistan: at present President Obama asks Poland, or Italy, or Great Britain for more troops. If there were a European army, he would have a 'toolbox' to draw from. He might need 30 aeroplanes: he would be able to ask if the European army was in a position to provide them."
