Why the EU doesn't work and the U.S. runs NATO

Every time I think I've finished up with the Tour - they pull me back in. This time it's an unintentionally hilarious article from procycling about what went on in the peloton behind Landis during his historic Stage 17 breakaway.

A few days ago, John Newsom and I were wondering why in Europe, the continent that gave us socialism, the only real team sport is soccer, while in U.S. - land of the individual - team sports rule. Maybe this piece explains the European side of things. It certainly helps clear up why it took so long to get the Bosnian crisis under control.
