What a rant! Of course, the world is not safer, and never will be. We are not fighting conventional warfare with a conventional army. They know that too. Terrorism is a constantly changing venue and if you ever let up for one minute, it will be a terrible mistake. It's not something that can be won in a decisive battle or two. They are everywhere, even among us.
The Euros were happy when we had a feckless, sexual sociopath in the Oval office, apologizing to anyone who would listen, when he wasn't wagging his crooked finger and blaming his defects on the "vast right-wing conspiracy", otherwise known as the `American public'.
Bingo!
I am watching MSNBC to listen to what was being said that day from a different perspective and there was a reporter on the street saying that there was reports that there was a bomb in a highschool which wasn't true point being much MIS-information was being reported on TV as well as reporters saying it "hasn't been confirmed" type reports.
Whoretz can KMA!
As a cuss-free Christian, I have to say, "Sometimes, there just is no other word to express my response, other than yours."
I am glad you said it so I don't have to.
I could give a rats ass what a bunch of anti-american socialist euro elitists think of the US. Its a popularity contest we will never win, and we shouldn't even try because you'll bash us no matter what we do.
They developed a culture of hating us before 9/11, they gave fake sympathy during it, and then right back to hating us after.
Go ahead and keep hating us europe if it makes you feel less inferior, but it won't do anything to MAKE you less inferior.
Sickening, isn't it? The MSM/DBM will relish in our next attack. They can't wait and will not be able to hide their glee. They're counting on having something else to bash Bush with, especially before Nov elections.
Funny how much they like Americans when Americans are victims like them. When America gets up and takes action, that they can't relate to.
A whiny Leftist I know once wrote the same type of sentiment. That we had all these countries on our side and could have done something worthwhile, but we blew it. I still want to know what we were supposed to do? Have weekly candlelight vigils? Put sanctions on the terrorists? What?
A friend of mine was in France a few months ago. She met a couple French people who were actually nice and helpful. Most were rude. She asked someone she had been talking to why Parisians were so mean. He said they didn't want to appear nice, because Americans might think the Parisians like them.
Someone came up with the bright idea that we should grovel to the EU for permission to deal with Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. There is even strident support for "meaningful diplomacy" on this great forum. Germany and France negotiating with Iran over nuclear programs. Brilliant.
As IF they'd quit without us "legitimizing" them. As for Chirac and Merkel -- I don't give a rats arse if they are angry at the U.S. If it wasn't for the U.S.'s willingness to stand up to regimes that are fully prepared and committed to do everything in their power to dominate the world, neither of those countries would be what they are today. What a bunch of whiny pantywaists.
No, this from the direct descendants of Hitler. Germany should have been eradicated as a country for what they brought upon the world in World War II.
Funny, because the attitude "The end justifies the the means" is one thing Democracy and Terrorism have in common.
And really, I don't really see the connection between the Marshall Plan and "the end justifies the means". How about: "This from a direct beneficiary of allied firebombings."
Hahaha, you should connect with the German Loony Left Wing. You'd probably agree on so many levels besides the 'eradicate Germany as a country' thing.
