In case you missed it, we are living i peace and harmony. Peace and harmony in Startrek is rare, the only place I can think of is Kataan. And as you know, the Federation hardly lives up to their own standards. Remember Ba'ku?
Generally the Federation is not greeted by anyone, it's just seen as the lesser of two evils.
McGuffin, it's your federalist views and the people who share them who make arguing for the EU hard. It's those views that have put us into the current situation where the EU is unpopular everywhere. A federalist europe where Brussels do not listen to the people of the member states. A Brussels that ignore referendums and push onwards towards a federal europe without looking back. The people do not approve.
Out of curiosity, which party do you vote for in the german elections? Federalists belong in the right wing liberal section up here.

Michael Eddington said:"I know you. I was like you once, but then I opened my eyes. Open your eyes, Captain. Why is the Federation so obsessed with the Maquis? We've never harmed you. And yet we're constantly arrested and charged with terrorism. Starships chase us through the Badlands and our supporters are harassed and ridiculed. Why? Because we've left the Federation, and that's the one thing you can't accept. Nobody leaves paradise. Everyone should want to be in the Federation. Hell, you even want the Cardassians to join. You're only sending them replicators because one day they can take their "rightful place" on the Federation Council. You know In some ways you're even worse than the Borg. At least they tell you about their plans for assimilation. You're more insidious. You assimilate people and they don't even know it."
