Thanks for the article.
Thanks also for the rebuttal link that you gave. Holy crap! The guy who wrote the rebuttal is out of his mind. For a good example of classic 'head in the sand' syndrome, the likes of which are seldom seen, I recommend that everyone read the rebuttal comments. The kind of denial, anti-Americanism, and history revision seen in those rebuttals is simply stunning. Sadly, the denial and lunacy displayed there are indicative of how the vast majority of Europe thinks. I for one will be extremely disgusted if we ride to Europe's rescue when it completely implodes, yet again, in the not so distant future.
We Americans are pretty materialistic but most of us have kept our 'morals' - so far.
Thank you for that excellent opinion piece and for the ping. I hope it didn't fall on deaf ears among the policy makers in Europe. Or here in the States, for that matter.
Cowardice is only of value when it will save you. IMO, it usually doesn't. But especially not in this case.
"Sadly, the denial and lunacy displayed there are indicative of how the vast majority of Europe thinks."
I have to ask myself - did it spread from America to Europe or the other way around? We obviously have a vast number of lunatics in Congress.
