Across Europe, there is considerable support for the European Union to become as powerful as the United States.

    Survey Of Latino Attitudes On The War With Iraq

    The Hispanic population is divided over the war with Iraq. Latinos born in the United States express strong support as well as optimism over its course thus far while the foreign born voice more cautious views and greater concern over the potential for terrorist attacks and economic losses, according to a Pew Hispanic Center poll of Latino adults taken April 3 to 6, 2003.
