That's an interesting take. It does assume that more intelligence is both possible and useful -- that's probably not unlikely.

If AES just specified that you pick a random IV and prepend it to the cipher text, then users of crypto libraries wouldn't need to know what an IV is. Right?

Institutions like the EU are hard to build. It's easy to leave or destroy an institution. Much harder to reform or improve it. The idea that we should have free trade and movement within Europe is not bad. Even unified regulation, etc.
