Contrary to what trolls like Erique claim, I am not saying that all Europeans are anti-semetic (learn to debate, Erique). Nor did I imply that. But I do think the evidence of an overal cultural bias against jewish people is pretty hard to deny. Racism is something that doesn't disappear in a society. It fades. Americans are less
I don't want to highjack this thread to turn it into a discussion of European anti-semitism (although I intend to address that issue elsewhere) but let me offer a quote from a Greek journalist who, in discussing Israel said "have vindicated the persecutions of the Nazis. . . . They deserved such an executioner [as Hitler] since t
Oh dear, here we go again. Sweeping statements about "Europe this" and "Europe that". Can some of you PLEASE get it through your thick skulls that Europe is a continent made up of many DIFFERENT nations with DIFFERENT cultures, DIFFERENT pasts and DIFFERENT ideas, opinions and politics? "Europe" killed 6 million jews? No, a relatively small group of nazies did. The rest of "Europe" was either occupied by nazies themselves or fighting them. Acc

I find it extremely interesting that when Brad posts one of his Bush-fanclub blogs, there is a virtual parade of Republicans lining a couple of blocks to add their unwavering support for Mr. President. However, when a flat-out lie is revealed and published, another piece of evidence of the shameful way president Bush has lured America into a war under false pre- and now after-tences, there is a deep, deeeeep silence. Come on boys, at least mak
Island dog: You are dodging my point. You keep hammering us Europeans being big appeasers of dictators, however you fail to recognize that America has a very full history of dealing with dictators as friends and installing a couple of them as well. Pakistan is a prime example at the moment, one you are conveniently ignoring. Now I realise that in a realistic world, compromises are sometimes inevitable and you have to chose who the lesser evil is, howev
Bush did win the 2000 election. Here we go with the tin hat conspiracy theories again. Gave the results that ABC and CNN wanted? They wanted Gore to win, what are you talking about? I can say shame on you and the EU. You guys need to stand up and stop appeasing terrorists and stop being afraid of "offending" somebody. It will be
You are absolutely right OG San. The only result Israel got was some satisfaction from revenge and a lot of extra enemies with extra resolve. I saw a Israeli spokesman react to that with "Well, it couldn't get any worse anyway". Yes it can. There could be two or three times as many suicidebombers targetting bigger objects with more people. It's a lesson America should pay attention to.
"Well the primary difference is that Europe was in support of ousting Milosevic but werent in support of ousting Saddam....then again Milosevic didnt have to money to pay off Europe.." Don't forget paying off the U.N. Are you sure Saddam had enough money left to pay both Europe and the UN
The well documented mentality of western Europe is appeasement. Let Hitler keep going, he'll leave us be. A very popular opinion among rightwing Americans but quite a bit one-sided to put it mildly. Stopping a dictator in a powerful nation nextdoor is a whole different matter than removing one from a we
A few random thoughts: - The Spanish socialists have always been against the war in Iraq. They won the elctions and will fulfill their promise to get out of that war. Should they have changed their stance suddenly because of the bombs in Madrid? Would that NOT have been influencing the elections by AQ? Aside from their complete freedom to elect anyone they damn well please (something America should support instead of question), perhaps the Spa
