Can't we just colonize Europe?

[mathluv]

I love Neil.

One thing I've learned about the Europeans is they always come back.

And when they do, they mostly come at night. Mostly.

[rickmichaels]

George Bush is no hero with the French.

No doubt Carter's lack of spine and Clinton's base behavior are held in high esteem by the frogs.

from "aliens"?

[Mister Baredog]

Can't we just colonize Europe?

Ouch! Didn't we leave there to get away from their madness.

I say, after the EU fails spectacularly, we should give them a discount on a million copies of "Capitalism for Dummies" and call it a day.

[Xenalyte]

Yep, and parodied on "South Park."

[Delta 21]

I really wont give a sh!t what europe thinks until "W" is running the un. ....and even then , it still wont matter.

[anoldafvet]

And usually with their hands out.

[Leisler]

Europe? Europe? It..rings a bell..um...something to do with...the past...long time ago...um, did it copy Disney World or something? Don't they, ah like, make cheese, real stinky cheese?

Ok, I give in, what's the punch line?

[Libertina]

Well, the "right" Europeans (cough cough) have "held out" for 4 years, with no let-up atleast by the French. They are most likely waiting for an event where America needs to protect them again. I'd venture to say they were busily setting that "event" up right now by streaming millions of hostile muslims into their countries. Luckily, the "wrong" Europeans still remember their battles and our liberating actions, and will probably help us when we need to save the sorry *sses of the "right" Europeans. Again. Sigh.

[Enterprise]

"Can't we just colonize Europe?"

We're too late. The Muslims are doing it.

[Fiddlstix]

BTTT

[Monti Cello]

The timing of Reagan's death is eerily serepdipitous. The Cold Warrior lauded in between the major D-day anniversary and a G-8 summit concerning the war on terror, it seamlessly ties together the similar US objectives in each of our 3 major tasks of the past 3 generations like nothing else could.

It ties up and catapults Reagan's legacy into the future at a time when it is most needed to inspire both our leaders and people. There is enough historical distance that his legacy is nearly impossible to refute. If there is any divine reason for a man to have his death painfully prolonged for a decade, I think we have seen it.

Even the most cynical blinkered socialist will have difficulty ignoring the historical parallels between then and now.

I think it is also starting to dawn on certain Euros that Iranian nukes will fall on them long before they can reach us. The historical events of this week in combination with the urgency of Iran's flagrant aggressions may serve to wake up our 'allies'.

After the EU,
we should just purchase Europe,
give it to Disney,

and let them run it,
for profit, as a theme park.
(Tickets would be cheap . . .)

[Mister Baredog]

LOL

as a theme park.

Fantasyland or Adventureland, or instead of Tomorrowland, how about Yesterdayland. Frog Island fits in here somewhere.

"One thing I've learned about the Europeans is they always come back. Oh, sure, they bash our arrogance. They even bash our ignorance. They say we're not cultured or refined. They call our presidents who shoot from the hip empty in the head. They said the same of Ronald Reagan. They say much the same of President Bush. "

One thing you haven't learned from the "Europeans" is that there is no such thing.

There are British, French etc.

Anyone calling themselves "European" in my neck of the woods would be hung.

British, English, Scot, Irish, Welsh etc..fine

European?

Hell, that would have as much meaning as "American"!

[Mister Baredog]

"One thing I've learned about the Europeans is they always come back

Maybe so, but with the swelling Muslim populations and the jihadist movement they may have to deport millions or convert themselves.

I've heard you can see minarets rising in the capitals of Europe rapidly. How long will these folks take being treated like second class citizens?

Read your homepage. Is it safe for Americans in Indonesia these days?

[Jakarta ex-pat]

Is it safe for Americans in Indonesia these days?

Probably safer than in the majority of American cities.
