Along with the desire to use our armed forces as Hessians around the world, Europe wants to crush us economically and in every other way. The article posted was well worth reading, very thought provoking. The idea that Europe finds it much more palatable to transfer all their past and present sins to us, rather than face the failure they've become. People do this, too. It never works. They drag around their baggage and never make progress. No wonder we blow right past them technologically and in every other way.
