Maybe you can explain why the Gulf States have been so kind and considerate of us. From the goodness of their hearts? What altruism! I guess it is the same altruism that Kuwait and SA demonstrated by allowing us to defend them in Gulf 1.
"Then, could you explain why those civilized, Christian nations like France and Germany deny us those same privileges, despite supposedly sharing "common values" with us. Who has been more effective in helping us fight the war against Islamic terrorism? Countries in the Middle East, or countries on the Eurpean continent?"
France has nukes. Does that concern you? Would you feel the same about our allies Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait having nukes? Just wondering how far your multiculturalism extends.
I have my gripes with Old Europe but I still recognize reality - my values are hundred fold closer to theirs than they are to the Gulf regimes.
It is called strategic reality....which also explains why we've been so kind and considerate to them.
"France has nukes. Does that concern you?"
Yes. It does. Having witnessed first hand the French propensity to sell any technology it controls to the highest bidder, I would prefer France not having nuclear weapons.
"Would you feel the same about our allies Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait having nukes?"
The fewer countries that have nuclear weapons the better. I don't care if its Qatar, Iran or Japan.
