Europeans...

[weegee]

And some could say that the Europeans were partially to blame for the Germans actions in WWII. After all, they punished Germany for actions in WWI. Hitler was just trying to take back his lands.

[Paradox]

A survey of American and European attitudes towards foreign relations found that 55 per cent of respondents from six European countries agreed that US policy had contributed to the attacks.

These statistics are useless to me. I'd like to see a country by country breakdown. Note that 45% disagreed, which is a huge number if you ask me, considering they are Europeans.. I'll bet the Brits got our back...

[Cacophonous]

I think your headline is a bit misleading. The poll found that the Eurosnots felt that American foreign policy may have contributed to the 11 September attacks, not that America herself is to blame.

The distinction is not insignificant.

It should come as a no surprise that the long-time enemy of Islam--Israel--is also the greatest recipient of American foreign aid. With that track record, we should have expected something to happen.

This is a perfect illustration of the consequences of not heeding the advice of that greatest of Americans, George Washington, who advised the US to avoid foreign entanglements and enchanting alliances. We didn't and we paid. We didn't seem to learn.

This nonsense about the towelheads "hating freedom and wealth" is just that--nonsense. Those concepts are too abstract to hate; it's like hating love.

Europeans...

I snapped.

"A John Wayne movie," I said. "That's what you were going to say, wasn't it? We think war is a John Wayne movie. We think life is a John Wayne movie -- with good guys and bad guys, as simple as that. Well, you know something, Mister Limey Poofter? You're right. And let me tell you who those bad guys are. They're us. WE BE BAD."

A majority of Europeans think

I stopped after the first five words.

Well it is true.

If we weren't rich, successful, basically nice, and influencing the cultures of pretty much the entire world, these fanatic bastards wouldn't hate us.

And if those buildings hadn't been built, they wouldn't have been targets -- right?

This little screed is nothing more than proof that Al Qaeda isn't the only group of folks who don't like us. To heck with 'em.

Bomb the Financial Times!

[Falcon4.0]

If they don't like our foreign policy then they should stop taking our MONEY!

"...while 65 per cent of Europeans said that the European Union should become a superpower similar to the US.",/i>

Knock yourselves out.
