For the rebuilding of Iraq, the United States has pledged $20 billion,
Japan has pledged $1.5 billion, and the European Union has pledged
$235 million.

How can anyone take Europe seriously as a force in the world?

Someone please remind me how much the U.S. has spent in the former
Yugoslavia. How many billions have we ****ed away, putting out fires
in Europe's outhouse? Why are we continuing to put men and treasure
into the Balkans?

(I say this with a salute to Britain, Poland, Spain, Italy, and even
Holland, who have indeed put cash and troops into Iraq. Europe is not
entirely defined by France and Germany.)

Remember the Europeans were scolding Clinton that the US had to fight in
Bosnia and Kosovo so as to prove we aren't isolationist. The weasel
nations of Europe are like lazy teenagers that won't clean their room.
As soon as the responsible adults start picking up their mess they cry
"I was just about to start but now you've ruined everything".

Pay no attention to them, they are just bitter and resentful that they
are no longer important. Wait until their lax immigration causes the
next world war in Europe then they will be a bit more reasonable, for 2
weeks.
