... Welcome to the real world!! In the next lesson you'll learn that the methods you just described are exactly the ones used: a. by EVERY country in the world b. especially by the US. How do you think the US made it to it's current position after WWII?? Pierre-Henri P.S. Do you have any idea how egocentric your post was? Do you really think the French treat only americans that way, or that only the French treat amercicans that way? Pleeeeeeeeeease. Well to listen to the French and the UN worshippers, only the US is motivated by national interest. Everyone else is pursuing the collective good of all humanity when they violate sanctions, veto resolutions, and march in the street. Ah don't take the French hostility and back stabbing personally, they are worthless allies to everyone, except the Germans. Americans are constantly accused of arrogance for pushing our point of view, when the real charge should be that we won't accept the French or European view as our view. If that's not European arrogance, it's close enough. -- Scott -------- "Interestingly, we started to lose this war only after the embedded reporters pulled out.

... The French are even hated by themselves! http://tinyurl.com/qm7a Then they aren't as stupid as I had imagined. I'm sure their self-hatred will soon be blamed on the US and McDonald's. 300 dead US soldiers to capture Iraq, 15,000 French deaths due to hot weather, G-d help us if a soccer riot breaks out in France, there could be millions of dead. -- Scott -------- "Interestingly, we started to lose this war only after the embedded reporters pulled out.

"tscottme" skrev i melding ... Jordan wrote in message ... Yea just keep making fun of every nation that doesn't agree with the USA. You think you can take on the world? I can't wait for the day when americans realise they are no longer the major world power. Don't you think enough people hate americans already? Why do you keep acting to reinforce their perceptions? Funny they hate America but fall all over themselves to ingratiate themselves with the Russians, the Arabs, and all the other full-time ogres. I think that says more about the rationality of the Europeans than the faults of the US. Besides, being powerful means you don't need everyone to like you, fear is enough. You don't see much European anger about slavery in the Arab world, or harsh treatment of Christians in China or the Middle East. But one cop killer gets sentenced to death and the Euro trash has a seizure. Could it be that we'l like for you to be of a higher standard than the rest... ? The only moral justification for us ( that is the vestern world ) being "better" than the rest is that we are in fact BETTER than the rest of the world ! And better means higher standards in treatment, letter of the law etc. |

There has been mention a number of times in various US press about the Poles, the Dutch, Slovakia, and others who have quietly and quickly given support. A lot of the mainstream press coverage in the US has a narrow focus, but pan-European help has been noted by some. ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

Please excuse the inclusion of Poland in "Europe" as it's commonly used in these heated discussions. I agree Poland is not Europe... Poland is Third World... Iran and poland have similar pils remember it... I and others know that Poland and other countries in Europe are level-headed. It seems that the countries that have more recent experience with the harsh realities have an adult appreciation for the dangers in the world. As one American my working definition of "Europe" when it's being criticized in this discussion is France and Germany and such.

Yeah, that making fun of other countries is so bad for their self-image. They could get a complex or something. You think it's a joke, how easily you forget the events of 9/11. So you're comparing our making fun of other nations with the killing of thousands of our people? You're a sad sick little person. -- cirby at cfl.rr.com Remember: Objects in rearview mirror may be hallucinations. Slam on brakes accordingly. |
