typos_R_us:

you’re making a confusion, the “de” and the “von” are no more the elite as you understand it : influent persons on the political and intellectueal spectrum. The Nobles with an old lineage are anonym, they are part of our economical society in that sense they can occupy a position in the army, in the banks direction, communications, etc… or simple farmers and hosteliers, now they hire their castels for tourists or conventions. But they do not represent what you call the opinion, though their life style still try to preserve the old moral, they usely still attend church mass, they have several children (from 5 to 8), they have refined manners and the honnor code, and they do not mix with the “villans” as far as marriage are concerned.
If they still would be in power, I bet their position would be more nationalist and independant from external influence,(De Villiers), ie EU and or US.
The warrior cult would drive their policy, defence of the patry values and interests.

Now , our political elite, from right or left sides attended the same sort of schools, “Sciences politiques” and ENA (school of administration), so the solutions that they propose are allways of the same pattern, and they practice clientelism among their own schools former students, so something never changes.

Saying that we or they are jaelous of America is a non-sense, none of them would like to emigrate, their seat is much confortable in EU.
Also we/they are facing the difficulty to dedend our identity in the globalisation, by emphasizing what are our differences, cultural divergences, economical system, traditions and diplomaty.

And I agree that EU has become an abstract inerty power, with too many discussions and commissions, the French are more and more doubtful about the utility of EU for solving international conflicts

a “Figaro” article (28/04/09) says that from 64% of the French favorred EU in 2004, only 48 % of them still do today, while the average of the EU nations is 53 %, that means that the French become euro-sceptict like Czecholovakia, Poland…
This happened in spite of the official discourse that promotes the EU spirit for good reasons (elites autoreproduction)

Though we are repproached to be individualists by our EU counterparts, Sarko is irritating a lot of them by initiating some decisions, that were not undertaken before, because of these neverending discussions.

He show that he won’t let an external enemi to impose its laws, (ie piracy treatment), so I am not afraid that he wouldn’t take the right decision in case of conflict, and above all, he won’t ask the permission to the EU burocrats.

As our forces are limited we have to select what are the useful and necessary wars we want to undertake, and sometimes they were/are/will be not the sames (as a whole, but part of them)that our Big american “papa” would choose.

So I can’t see envy and or disdain, it’s rather that we have to carry on walking on our traditional path

typos_R_us, “the USA has invaded some nation”
Obviously, the United States colonialism created economies many countries and made it a high notable standing and respected in the world, i.e. the USA made them the biggest economic power in the world.

The Europeans fear your power, because the US strongly fighting against fascists and Europe still rule by politically active racists and anti-Semites those who are sympathetic with the Nazis that killed more than six millions Jews in this country “Poland”. Euros pro-Nazis they also known for their dubious statements about Jews, and continually their praise of Nazism. Let alone the European jealousy toward America’s Greatness and wealth. They fear America Power although that Americans who freed Europeans from European Nazi.

Jassem, I sometimes think that the American dis-interest in Empire building is part of the problem. It is very strange to have a nation with overwhelming power that doesn’t use it build an empire. Time an dagain the USA has invaded some nation, then left. Weird! No wonder the average tyrant is clueless.
Our European cousins fear our power, or at least the elites do. Education is all well and good, but if you are born with a ‘von’ or a ‘du’ in your name that has been there for 7 or more centuries, it must be hard to relate to American Elits, who mostly bought their status. That makes them merchants by the standards of a von or du whose great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather was in line for a throne. I think that the Europeans don’t want to curtail or power so much as redirect and control it. Since they have no choice but to share the parlor with an 800 Lb gorilla, they would really like to make sure it has on a good pair of fetters. That is what the UN is supposed to do. NATO also. All chains to keep the USA from running amoke.
No evidence that we will, but why take chances?
That is why President Bush made the Euros nervous. Clinton paid absolutely no attention to the UN NATo or the GC. He just did pretty much what ever he wanted, bombed whoever he wanted, started the rendition program, the wiretapping program, etc. Clinton didn’t scare the Euros because the Elites knew he was a coward and his wiold man act was just that. With Bush, they knew he meant what he said, or at least he did at first.
The Usurper is a moderate by Euro standards and the Elites are not threatened by him.
It will be interesting to see how the Euros react when the on-going low key civil war here in the States heats up.

I have no idea why you would consider James Jesus Angleton a reliable source for anything, dead or alive. Reviewing his dubious career, it’s amazing we weren’t all incinerated by the Soviet Union.

#typos_R_us: Yes, Iraq it was a good lesson and the tyrants should learn from it, and the American Socialists should understand that these blind organizations “U.N , the Security Council and the Human Rights Watch”, they are the largest PEACEFUL enemies to the United States. Which is why the United States must be imperious, ruthless, and relentless, and this BENEVOLENT POWER on the earth must lead the world in the name of freedom.

The United States of America is “THE ONLY UNIQUE MORAL SUPERPOWER” in the world. The American power always kept a peace, so Mr. President Obama and the rest of the Revolutionary American Socialists of this sort, please KEEP YOUR interests only in the HIGH-RISK ISSUES!!!

I hope that every Democrat, on his or her deathbed, realizes that their entire life has been wasted in moral grandstanding and that the blood of the innocents killed in future attacks (we all know they’re coming) is partially on their hands. Yeah, I want that to be the last thing they are conscious of in this life.

Jassem, that is powerful stuff. Best wishes to you as you make your way through this crazy minefield we call life.

He really has set the arrow to point right back at him if we get attacked again.

Jassem Othman, They are awake, they just have different objectives then you or I. Back when I was a speckled pup, Working in the black hole at Ft. Meade, I had to hand carry some time critical intercepts over the Turkey Run.
The guy I delivered them to had a picture on his wall. It showed Washington D.C in the foreground, taking up about 75% of the picture. New York was off in the upper corner with about 5% of the picture, a narrow strip above D.C. was labeled America, it took up another 15% or so. The background along the upper edge was labeled ‘the World’.
I think it was supposed to be a visual joke, but too many people in Washington see it as an accurate map of the reality.
Parochialism is alive and well in the seats of power.
America has a peculiar system of government. To acquire power in America, one must do the very things that lose one’s power in the rest of the world. Because of that fact and the tendency of older people to become set in their ways, Power in America is held by those least suited to use it on the international stage.
The Rules codified by Machiavelli several centuries ago that international relations follow is discounted in America because American politics ignores those rules. Machiavelli pointed out in the 2nd or 3 paragraph of his intro that his rules do not apply to democracies, that he wasn’t sure what rules did.
So you have the most powerful nation in the world trying to run ( or not run) the world by rules that the rest of the world doesn’t understand.
Despite the fears of Europeans, China and the third world, America has no interest in running the world.

All this is why nobody in power in DC actually gives a shit what happens in the turd world. Remember about 80% of Americans don’t understand the connection between Iraq and the War Islam is waging against America. President Bush didn’t understand it and he had the best information. The Average American cannot grasp the fact that Islam divides the world into the house of Islam and the house of War, that the religion is built around the concept of using war to convert EVERYONE to Islam. So they scoff at the idea of a war lasting 7 times longer then America is old. The politicians elected to power are even worse, since they got elected thru the system and try to apply the rules of that system to the rest of the planet, which isn’t interested at all.

To half of America, Iraq proved that the USA can invade any turd world country and hang the dictator. So that means to them that the yet-to-be-hung dictators should pay attention. Under the system they are used to, Iraq was a lesson and the tyrants should learn from it.
The tyrants play by a different set of rules and Iraq was an aberration, one that didn’t work out so well for President Bush. The tyrants know that the key to defeating America is to lay low and wait. America has the attention span of a sex starved flea and waiting a few years, months, or in the case of Georgia, days will let America direct it’s attention elsewhere. Iran has been doing this for decades. It would be easier to turn a fish into a bird then change the way America looks at this. If you could, America wouldn’t be America, but just a slightly larger turd world nation.
That is the goal of the Usurper and the puppet masters pulling his strings.

The fate of the real James Jesus Angleton? Angleton was a drunk. Angleton was paranoid, which might be an occupational hazard for counterintelligence experts. Angleton made us so reliant on Israeli intelligence for information on the Middle East that he helped make American policy there the arm of Israeli policy that it is to this day. He destroyed our efforts to gain any useful intelligence on the Soviet Union by his constant mole searches. He refused to take seriously good intelligence because he believe that all defectors were KGB or GRU plants. And early in his career he shared everything we did with his old buddy, and fellow lush, Kim Philby, the British Soviet spy.

Some fount of wisdom you chose.
