The European "solution" to the threat of Iranian atomic bombs bids fair to join the "peace process" as the most boffo running gag in the history of show biz. Every few months, the elegantly dressed diplomatic wizards from London, Paris, and Berlin race across a continent or two to meet with Iranians dressed in turbans and gowns, and after some hours of alleged hard work, they emerge with a new agreement,
The European posturing is the Western counterpart of the Iranian deception, a ritual dance designed to put a flimsy veil over the nakedness of the real activities. The old-fashioned name for this sort of thing is "appeasement," and was best described by Churchill, referring to Chamberlain's infamous acceptance of Hitler's conditions at Munich. Chamberlain had to choose between war and dishonor, opted for the latter, and got the former as well. That is now the likely fate of Blair, Chirac, and Schroeder.

The Euro's keep making the same mistake, over and over and over. It's like Ground Hog Day, I suggest they be required to watch that movie a few times, it's like their History.
They keep Flapping their Alligator Mouths and Strutting their Hummingbird Asses, then when their in the Crapper they cry for help, to hell with them!

Great analysis - I have to agree with him that even the US seems to be wishing/waiting for Israel to do the heavy lifting on this critical issue.

......and when they are experiencing an Iranian-Islamic BLITZKRIEG, they'll cry UNCLE again. Will we run to their rescue again, for the 3rd time in less than 100 years, as their buildings, monuments, art galleries and lordly estates are smouldering in ruins? If we don't, then we face an entire world gone manically, rabidly Islamic, with only "Mother Russia" and China as potential allies against all of Europe, Eurasia, the Middle East and Africa........possibly also by that time, Mexico, Central America and Canada. What a prospect!

Chamberlain had to choose between war and dishonor, opted for the latter, and got the former as well. That is now the likely fate of Blair, Chirac, and Schroeder. This is the first thing that I thought of. Hitler was encouraged to move up his timetable by YEARS, by the weakness Chamberlain & Co. showed. He saw their weakness and exploited it.
Now the Euro's are showing what gutless wonders they are AGAIN and they're just encouraging their enemies AGAIN!
Do they REALLY think they can deal honestly with the mullahs? These mullahs can lie til their tongues turn black. After all, the Euro's are only infidels. It's not like their actual Muslims or anything. They're sub-human in the Iranian's eyes and despicably weak.
Will Europe NEVER learn??? Sure they will. After millions more young men lose their lives.

Europe wants better business relationships with the Arab brutes and would be happy to hand Israel over to them in exchange.
