..hey Europe, it's a new ballgame today. Get over it...

Actually, it's an old ballgame, which Europe knows only too well and doesn't want to see again.

Wasn't it East Germany, where gatherings of more than three people were deemed to be a potential conspiracy?

"Wasn't it East Germany, where gatherings of more than three people were deemed to be a potential conspiracy."

You can't compare that to today's situation. Our aim is to stop terrorist attacks not make Europeans uncomfortable. You'd think they would be a little more tolerant considering the hell we went through on 9/11....but we are talking about Europe, so their selfishness doesn't surprise me.

Bullocks. This is a new age with a new warfare.

And we see the BS on euro tv - you guys despise us. So why should we trust you to consider our safety? Like you did for the Czechs at Munich? Or when you turned your back on the Poles when they were invaded, despite FOUR frickin "treaties" promising support?

You see, its not that we don't trust International Law or treaties or "firther UN negotiations" - its simply that all these pieces of paper have as much value as the one Chamberlain brought back from Hitler.

Stay home. Stew in your Socialist sewage. We don't trsut you.
