Also, you still owe us for World War I and World War II, after each of
which unpleasantness the American taxpayer rebuilt your heel-clicking
country. I especially liked the aftermath of WWI. The U.S. sent the
money to Germany, which cashed


The value of German technology stolen after WWII is estimated to be 1300
Billion current dollars.
Imagine what would happen if US had spent this amount to develop the
technology?.

(Don Rumsfeld's useful distinction between Old Europe and New Europe
should be mentioned here. The peripheral states--Poland, Spain, and
Britain notably among them--are


Rumsfeld is probably only man in Washington DC that understands whats going on
in the world.
The struggle is not between US and Europa or US and Iraq ,Afghanistan or
whatever 3rd world country,struggle is between the Global Military Power and
Global Financial Power.

To win the struggle the Global Military Power needs decisive
(historical)military victories everywhere.

But to defeat the Global Military Power,the Global Financial Power needs only
one thing,namely to prove that the "proceeds" of decisive historical military
victories of the Global Military Power are not sufficent.

Not very promising situation for the Global Military Power.

Yes, the Germans are so selfish they are the major net contributors
to the EU.

But feel free not to let reality get in the way of your bigotry.

Saudi Arabia says $1 billion, most or all of it loans.

The European Union has upped its claim to $826 million. Dunno how much
of that is real, but couldn't it at least have matched the Saudis?


Stop whining.

We (germany) already payed your ****in 2nd Gulf War.


You, sir, are a fool. You have absolutely no idea of the costs
of OIF, or the fact that Germany was too cowardly to commit
troops, money, or any other form of support.

And juvenile. foul language only makes you look more idiotic.

From: "Emmanuel Gustin"

"Chris Mark" wrote in message
The European Right's anti-Americanism stems fundamentally from our
continent's loss during the twentieth century of its six-hundred-year
leadership role.


Please get the attribution correct. The comments are not mine, but
Jean-Francois Revel's.

You might have been interested in last September's conference at Johns Hopkins'
Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, "Competing Visions of
Europe and America."
The conference took up the questions "Does culture matter in transatlantic
politics?", What does it mean to be American?", "What does it mean to be
European?", and "What do our assumptions about who we are mean for
transatlantic relations?"
Among the speakers were the redoubtable Bernard-Henri Levy, France (and
probably Europe's) leading thinker, and Pierre Hassner, professor at the
Institute of Political Studies and Center for International Studies and
Research at the National Foundation for Political Sciences in Paris.
Levy described himself as an anti-anti-American, a position to which Hassner
ascribed, as well. Levy described America as Europe's paladin. In contrast to
your assertion that "the real reasons for the increasing tension between Europe
and America are the different cultural values...." they and others, including
the Italian poet and novelist Roberto Pazzi ("Conclave"), emphasized that our
values are the same.
I'll take their word for it--not yours.
