Europe: United in Regulation
Europe keeps trying to compete with the US by outregulating it, and exporting those regs to US companies. In further delaying and micromanaging its antitrust action against Microsoft, Europe seems more interested in using Microsoft and other US based multinationals as "cash cows" to fund projects (like aid to the Third World) that win Europe's bureaucrats great press releases, but do nothing to enhance the quality of life in Europe OR in Africa. Instead Europe should commit to greater economic freedom and opportunity on both continents, which would truly make a difference to the poor.
