The US did not squander their good will.

They allowed 911 to turn them into cowards.

If they expected the United States to stand by and allow Islamics to kill 3,000 of us and do nothing they forgot that Bubba the great asskissing appeaser lost the election.

When the ragheads translate your alias you will lose your head.
You mad socialists cost me both my parents and my only sibling.
I say the Marshall plan was a great mistake.

Bump for the humor! It is a difficult day to keep a clear perspective. When the "nuke 'em all and let God sort them out" crowd starts to look like a reasonable philanthropic society, it is good to see some humor ;)

Check out some of the knee-jerk reactions on this thread. Priceless.

Gosh, you're so smart.

Critics say Americans have squandered the goodwill that prompted France's Le Monde newspaper to proclaim "We are all Americans" that somber day after the attacks....

The whole world loves us most when we are getting killed. They are happiest and have the most 'goodwill' for us when we are losing.

and that the Iraq war and other U.S. policies have made the world less safe in the five years since.

Translation: "It makes harder for us to close our eyes and ignore the European Muslim Problem...."

I say we trade Germany and France to the Saudi's and Iranians for a long-term oil supply deal. It would be a win-win. The French would not have to deal with Jews under a Saudi reign, and the Germans could go back to North Africa. What a deal!

What really baffles me is that this news item also includes the word "France" and there were already about 130 responses but NO SURRENDER JOKE! What happened to Tradition?

Speaking of tradition, I'm all in favor of only reading the headline and the first couple sentences of an article. But I wish folks wouldn't make it so obvious.

You seem to enjoy ignoring reality and calling other people names. Yes, I did read your post and several history books. I know for most of its existence, Europe has been in a state of war and twice you dragged the U.S. into it. I can understand your defense of Islam since the National Socialists and Europeans in general have always been aligned with Islam and its hatred for Jews. Many of us taxpayers in the United States strongly resent and resist all of the foreign aid money Europe receives from us. We should bring all of our troops home from sewers like Germany and let you Europeans kill each other.

I'm thoroughly convinced that a majority of Freepers don't read the article, but post only in reaction to the thread headline.

"Reality" and this thread are mutually-exclusive. Since the very first comment.

Defense of Islam? What the hell are you talking about? Anyway, I rather insult people than whole nations like you. And I can't think of an answer to your incoherent rants. Maybe you want to elaborate.

I'll give a little more credit. You can't expect everyone to investigate the context behind Merkel's comments. But I have marveled for years at FReepers' unquestioning belief in whatever the MSM says about Europe (speaking loosely), yet their undying scepticism of the MSM in nearly every other circumstance. It's like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Receiving a condescending lecture about human rights and respect for other cultures from a German Chancellor on September 11th does seem surreal. Ignore her comments, or even claim that you share her sentiments. Really.

As I stated previously, both of her comments appear to be lifted from separate occasions that occured months ago. Perhaps you should be questioning why this AP reporter is repeating them now, and why you are reacting so emotionally.

This day does bring out emotion in most Americans. I was in Bonn, Germany on this day in 2001. Yeah, I get a little wound up when foreign leaders condemn us on this day. The context and the direct quotes indicate that this was uttered today.

Seems like I'd be hurting my cause with this if I had one, but these two quotes actually come from the short speech she held at 9/11.
