Since when is a genocide a "uniquely European problem"? It happened in
Europe, but it could have happened anywhere else.

Since when has Europe been worried about genocide? It didn't bother
you when Germany practiced it,

Did you miss the beginning of WWII (oh silly me, you're American, of
course you did :-). And that was even before the genocide had started.
Even the US had been at war with Germany for months before the Final
Solution was decided upon at Wansee.

or Britain, France, or Belgium. (I'm
not sure about the Dutch record in Africa--not nearly as bad,
evidently.)

And indeed the Europeans stood by while the US was busily wiping out
the natives, just as the US stood by while all the British, French and
Belgian actions were going on. Don't forget that.

You worried about Serbia only because it threatened
European interests.

Fancy that, being interested in our interests.

Arafat is waging genocidal war against the Jews (picking up where
Europe left off). Why haven't you intervened in the Middle East
against him?

Or more to the point, since the US is apparently so much better at
this sort of thing that us eeropeens, why hasn't the US done
something? Oh wait they are, they're vetoing everything that reaches
the UN even suggesting that Israel may be anything but perfect.

And do recall what country provided the great weight of men and
weapons to fight in the Balkans. (Hint: it wasn't France, the rare
European country that actually has a military worth respecting.)

IIRC the UK sent a larger proportion of it's military than the US.
Having a military significantly larger than any European nation does
make it kind of easy to make the "we sen more" arguments, conveniently
ignoring that you have dozens of brigades, when small nations tend to
only have a couple.

Dozens of lines of hate, and this is you signoff? And they say
Americans don't understand irony!
