The thing with Europeans in the Second World War is that they didn't oppose Hitler in part because they were in agreement.

Anti-communists sometimes sided with him because they were more afraid of Stalin, but his anti-Semitic rhetoric didn't cause much heartburn anywhere in Europe. The Jews who burned in the camps died at German hands, but were rounded up and handed over by French police, Belgian police, Hungarian and Romanian police, and so on.

Palestine was very much in vogue among the camp survivors because there was no home to go back to, having been turned in by their neighbors.

So the writer might better have said that Europeans are not Cowards, its just that They are Fascists, and have a soft spot for dictators in snappy clothes.

Personally, I think it is they hae a soft spot for dictators in snappy clothes. Same reason they can't stand Bush ... jeans and a field jacket just doesn't cut it in European fashion.
