This is a really good piece.
AMEN! to all of you, except Larry Rasczak. Larry’s problem [like France, Germany & UK's] is that he wants to be able to sit back in his living room and direct American Forces and Resources at his whim. Suez [thank God for Eisenhower] is a lesson that Americans need to learn.
The reason France, Germany [and our dear Brit "cousins" who are cowering at the Basra Airport, while Americans die to take back "Britain's Area of Responsibility" in S. Iraq from Iran] hate GW Bush so much, is that he has refused to let them, EU or UN run American Forces [remember Gallipoli]. Any American President who allows Americans to be “commanded” by anyone else, should be hanged.
The rampant, apparently institutionalized anti-Semitism in Europe really worries me; and the only thing our Old Europe “Allies” have learnt after two world wars, is that they can extort America’s protection while leading their countrymen in virulent anti-Americanism. It’s long past time they either put up or shut up and behave like good, dependent children and deficient, addlebrained adults should. mariana
