... Stop calling "europeans" anybody living in Europe and not being british. I'm Polish as a matter of fact and I hate using "Europe" and "France and Germany" as synonyms. Actually if you take the number of countries for and against Iraqi Freedom both the current 15 EU and the post-2004 enlargement EU was FOR the US. The French the Germans and the Belgians are a funny bunch of people that can make good food (except for the Germans of course..) but they still live the lives of forgone colonial powers. take care lekomin inc Please excuse the inclusion of Poland in "Europe" as it's commonly used in these heated discussions. I and others know that Poland and other countries in Europe are level-headed. It seems that the countries that have more recent experience with the harsh realities have an adult appreciation for the dangers in the world. As one American my working definition of "Europe" when it's being criticized in this discussion is France and Germany and such. Most of us would write "the weasel nations in Europe that have little to contribute but hot air, and spend half their time on vacation or on strike" except it's too much to type. Poland should be proud of their special forces and their assuming the responsibility in these issues. I'm grateful to Poland, UK, Norway, Australia, and the majority of NATO countries that did contribute to the effort. I'm not the only American that is grateful for those that will act like allies. -- Scott -------- "Interestingly, we started to lose this war only after the embedded reporters pulled out. Back when we got the news directly from Iraq, there was victory and optimism. Now that the news is filtered through the mainstream media here in America, all we hear is death and destruction and quagmire..." Ann Coulter http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2003/091703.htm |
