Thank goodness there's not another thing in the sky right now capable of bringing one down.

In what ways is the Typhoon inept? Do not compare the two as they fulfill different missions. The current F-22 is a pure fighter with little thought given to maritime/air-to-ground roles. Whereas the EF-2000 was designed as a multirole aircraft from the outset.
The F-22 can be brought down by any number of means. Don't believe all of what you read. Just because its state-of-the-art and expensive doesn't mean its invulnerable. Troops in WWII were told that the Sherman tank was the best in the world. The F-4 Phantom in Vietnam was supposidly "The best" and they got shot down all the time by "inferior" Mig-17's. Not to mention the fact that the U.S has not faced an enemy with proper front line equipment and training in over 50 years.
