Europe, you need some chap stick

Nice qualifier, but when the US presents its enemies with plenty of citizens/soldiers to kill in their home-towns with less travel, I'm not sure the "attack on US soil" point holds any water.

Like I said before, "3,000+ dead soldiers and their families would disagree with your sentiment that the war has decreased attacks against the US".

More distortion, manipulation and obfuscation. The truth is as I said: There has been no attack on U.S. soil since 9/11. Here's another truth: The Israelis learned long ago that you can fight the terrorists in your neighborhood or theirs. I think that is the whole point of the story at the beginning of this thread and the Europeans had better wake up to that fact. Then again, Europe may not be worth saving.

Our power and success is forever tainted. It's just the way it is. We are indeed a great country, but ignoring our mistakes is a very bad idea.

It must really be depressing to have a permanent mad on against your country of origin. I hear they're doing great and wonderful things in Venezuela right now; and it's not too late to get in before the bloodbath starts.

No, I was talking specifically about the Axel Springer AG. It's pretty much the News Corporation of Germany.

So if you don't agree with a news organization, you suppose that it is right and a good thing to bomb their offices?

I'm not sure. Maybe we should ask President Bush?

This statement is the most salient of any made by anyone on this subject.

Any who do not have this register in their minds - please save this in your documents and refer to it in five years time!

Thank you.

"Appeasement generates a mentality that allows Europe to ignore nearly 500,000 victims of Saddam's torture and murder machinery and, motivated by the self-righteousness of the peace movement, has the gall to issue bad grades to George Bush... Even as it is uncovered that the loudest critics of the American action in Iraq made illicit billions, no, TENS of ...[text shortened]... lions, in the corrupt U.N. Oil-for-Food program.
