I say the hell with them, Russia France and Germany all had alterior motives in mind when they obstructed our war effort.

In one of the Leavenworth documents, it was stated by a high Iraqi official that French leadership (Chirac et. al.) view the US as a big a threat to them as Islamic Terrorism.

Stunning considering that all we have wanted to do since liberating them is to buy their wine, eat their cheese and visit their tourist traps.

The reality is that the anti-Americanism is really all about geopolitics, international oil politics and the envy of our 'hyper power' status.

Yes, especially envy. I could tell you a hundred stories of conversations I had with Europeans recently in Thailand, but on one occasion I was talking with a young guy from somewhere in central Europe.

I touched a few times on our vast military superiority and got no real reaction, but then when I said "And we're so much richer than your countries.." he sat up and sneered hatefully "I am not care about your MONEY!". Really struck a nerve. I giggled my butt off. The money is what really eats them alive.
