They also forget that thousands of Americans and their families spent years defending their nations against the agression (yes agression) of the USSR.<BR/><BR/>The German and French commenters praise their Nanny state without realizing the economic costs that go with it. They have their special groups and are losing their freedoms.<BR/><BR/>Next time they are on their own. Russia is making noises about a new Russian Empire and let them have it. We won't come to their aid. We've shed enough of our blood for those ungrateful bastards. Let them lose their freedom and see how hard it will be for them to regain it by themselves.Findalishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881549378886491540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-66483929520642496532008-10-20T16:24:00.000-07:002008-10-20T16:24:00.000-07:00As an American who has spent 8 years of his life i...As an American who has spent 8 years of his life in Europe (Italy-Germany) and goes back on a regular basis because I love both countries, I have found that Europeans have a very superficial image of what America is all about. When I was in Germany this year, everyone was following the elctions and everybody was talking about Obama. They hardly knew who John McCain was. <BR/><BR/>I don't think most Europeans are anti-American, but they are defineitely anti-Bush. Why?<BR/><BR/>In my view, Bush has forced the Europeans to face some hard questions about the world as it is today. It is true that Europe is pacifistic due to its history. In the past century, they endured tow devastating wars-especially ww2. It seems the lesson they took away is no more war. No more hate. That is commendable, but there is another lesson out there that is staring them in the face. That is the lesson of Munich 1938 when Neville Chamberlain and the French threw Czechoslovavia overboard in the interests of peace. They thought they could deal with Hitler. They thought they could moderate him-if they just gave him what he wanted this time.<BR/><BR/>They were so wrong.<BR/><BR/>It is the same now. Europeans are afraid to confront Islamic radicalism even as it is festering and growing in their own countries.<BR/>They think they can deal with the so-called "moderate Muslims".<BR/><BR/>They are so wrong again.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I believe that whether Obama, the Democrats and the Europeans want to fight another war on a world-wide scale, we will all have no choice in the end-unless we are willing to submit and allow Islam to become our state religion someday.<BR/><BR/>That is not the kind of freedom our fathers and grandfathers fought to protect.Gary Fousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014739065121483409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-29023098883224092462008-10-20T10:11:00.000-07:002008-10-20T10:11:00.000-07:00Maybe some of these commenters would like the U.S....Maybe some of these commenters would like the U.S. more if the U.S. withdrew all aid and funding from outside of their country.<BR/><BR/>As for Russia and Germany being friends.....seems to me the last time Russia and Germany signed a treaty, they back stabbed each other and went to war.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04644244465548927962noreply@blogger.com
