Why Does Uncle Stupid Have to Handle Libya?
The American Thinker ^ | March 04, 2011 | James Lewis

Posted on 03/04/2011 3:58:40 AM PST by Scanian

Europe is the world's hostile-dependent Welfare Queen, and it is high time for the United States to stop indulging Europe's childish irresponsibility. The Euromedia are constantly telling us they have the answer to the world's problems, and just to prove it, they never actually do anything but criticize Uncle Sam. They call our indulgence of their hostile dependent rage "American Imperialism." The average lefthead in Europe is convinced that all the world's troubles can be blamed on us, and that Progress and International Love and Peace are bound to come... whenever. Meantime they celebrate their own morally superiority and never do anything responsible.

Think Barack H. Obama when you think Europe. He is a European socialist of the Third World (Leninist) variety. Except that now he has to face reality. Soon, they will hate him, too.

When George W. Bush intervened in Iraq, Europe's ruling elite carried on a sustained campaign of personal hatred and rage against Bush for eight years, knowing full well that without American intervention in the Gulf their economies would be starved for lack of fuel.

They have been playing that hostile-dependent game for sixty years and America has indulged them like an overprotective mom. For them America it's not Uncle Sam but Uncle Stupid.

Now that the civilized world claims to be horrified by a grotesque and ranting Col. Khadafi bombing his own people in Libya, Europe is waiting for the United States to put our military lives at risk to protect their southern flank.

Libya is absolutely a big problem for Europe and therefore the EU should act to try to control the situation.

But why doesn't anybody ever mention China in these situations? The Chicoms have an enormously powerful economy and a military which could help to manage destabilizing world problems but nobody expects THEM to come to the rescue. Just "uncle Stupid"

And why not the Chicoms? They can at least afford to send money for relief efforts. We keep hearing about them being the new No. 1 power, so let them prove it by showing some leadership and doing something positive.

When George W. Bush intervened in Iraq

That's a nice way of putting it.

We ought not to let the defects of our European allies deter us from protecting our interests. As to Libya these are five: the continued, reliable production of oil in Libya; securing and dismantling Libya’s chemical weapons and terror infrastructure; shaping the Arab revolution in directions favorable to the US; settling accounts with Khadaffi for his terror attacks on US citizens; and demonstrating, once again, that the US is the indispensable nation.

The Chicoms are smart enough to trust kneejerk “we rule the world” Americans are dumb enough. The same with the EU.
