I think this is more an opinionated question.  But the least corrupted country i have been to is Iceland.  People there do not carry guns or lock their doors, no one has murdered anyone in the last 20 years.

There are not any. Europe is a group of nations which have grouped together to form a union, hence the term E.U. Industries are nationalised within each country or member state, and belong to that memebr state, not to the E.U directly. For this to happen the E.U would have to become a super state with a president/leader. Fortunately (I am a nationalist) this ideology was stopped when France and other member states voted against the European Constitution a couple of years ago.

Realistically there is actually much more crime in Europe than the U.S., in the U.K. alone there is one half as many reported crimes as in the U.S., and the U.S. has more than 5 times more people.

Canadian police carry guns, sometimes tasers. Special constables, who patrol public places don't.

there were 6 major European powers that sat out WWII while 13 others were overrun and occupied. Switzerland, Sweden, Ireland, Spain and portugal and Turkey were so called neutrals during the war. For an interesting look into these please check out this article: http://www.thehistorynet.com/wwii/letters_10_04/

According to a just-released report commissioned by the Pentagon, we don't even have the resources to defeat the insurgency in Iraq.\nUnless you are willing to rule with the hand of a dictator, it is always necessary for effective policing to be shared. Even at the community level, police need the cooperation of residents to be effective.\nAt the international level, no country has the resouces to effectively police all of the hot spots.  This is why, in my view, it is shortsighted and unproductive to try to unilaterally police the world.

Europe is not a country, but a continent. There are many countries in it, and they each have their own laws. Most extradite to the US, though many will not if the criminal will face execution for his/her crime.

Europol (the name is a contraction of European Police Office) is the European Union's criminal intelligence agency. Europol became fully operational on July 1, 1999.\n\nThe establishment of Europol was agreed to in the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, officially known as the Treaty on European Union (TEU) that came into effect in November 1993. The agency started limited operations on January 3, 1994, as the Europol Drugs Unit (EDU). In 1998 the Europol Convention was ratified by all the member states and came into force in October.\n\nEuropol allocates its resources (around 410 staff and 90 Europol Liaison Officers or ELOs) from its headquarters in The Hague. The size of Europol belies the fact that they are in constant liaison with hundreds of different law enforcement organisations, each with their own individual or group seconded to assist Europol's activities.\n\nCurrently Europol covers cooperation in all 25 member states of the European Union, with Estonia the last of the ten new EU states to ratify the Europol Convention on July 1, 2005.\n\nAdditionally, Bulgaria and Romania are already members of Europol, even though they are only set to join the EU in 2007. This also happened with some of the Central European countries which joined the EU in 2004; they became members of Europol in 2002 to make EU membership more gradual.

Yeah it's just like the Coast Guard, nothing more. The police take care of crime inside the country. USN and USCG units are in the area for anti drug ops and submarine exercises

Yes. If it really caused so many problems all of Europe and Israel would have no militaries at all as they have no laws against it.\n\nAnd it's a moot point - there are and always will be gays and lesbians in the service. It's just a matter of whether or not you're allowing people to be truthful. \n\nIf someone wants to serve their country they should be commended - not told that who they sleep with makes them a second class citizen.
