The nations of the world were pretty much divided when there were two Super powers... the United States and Soviet Union. Half hated us; half hated the Soviet Union.
Now that we are the only super power it is clear that many nations are unhappy (should I say jealous) with us. They will be unhappy as long as we act in our own self interest. If we act in such a way as to ensure our own downfall many nations will be quite happy with us. If we were to become the former Super Power, the rest of the world will tend to like us a lot. Bill Clinton was liked in Europe becuase he subverted our interests to theirs.
Many of today's nations are guided by what they see as the lessons of the cold war. If there are two super powers ,then both must court the smaller powers in an attempt to win a cold war. That is the belief of much of Europe. They see the need for two Super Powers. They would like to be one of them but if not being wooed by two powers would not be all that bad.
They can't remember that when the two superpowers were Great Britain and Germany. Then millions of people died to resolve that conflict. It is far more likely that two superpowers will fight a hot war than endure a cold war. They just don't see that as likely.
So today many in Europe see the rise of the Muslims as a counter balance to the United States. They hope to play both sides against the middle while Europe rises to power to confront us.
They should recognize, but don't, that the Muslim movement will first try to take Europe. And if successful they will try to take the United states. That would mean the World War III will be fought on the same soil as the first two world wars. That does not occur to Europeans. They think they can control muslim immigration and population growth.
But never give the Europeans intelligence enough to figure it out. Many Americans think outside the box. Few Europeans do. No one ever accused the Europeans of being bright enough to see the dangers they face. When Hitler moved into the Rhineland in 1936 his troops were ordered to retreat if the French offered any opposition at all. Hitler could have been taken out in 1936 at very little cost in men and material. Hitler had about 10 percent of the trained forces and military supplies that were available to France. Hitler's own generals warned him that if France chose to use their superior power, Hitler was toast.
But like France back in 1936, the Europeans choose to wait until the adversary is too big for them to defeat. Stupidly they want us to wait until our adversaries are too big for us to defeat.
The left and the media in the USA do not believe that Hitlers actually exist today. They think the worst people in the world are what they would refer to as Uncle Joe Stalins. That is what President Roosevelt Called Stalin.. Uncle Joe.
The media and Democrats felt that Uncle Saddam would not go for world domination.. even if he had the forces to try. I guess that's why Saddam's hero was Uncle Adolf Hitler.
Just wanted to see that again.
