Even German Chancellor Angela Merkel — an advocate of closer ties with Washington — had veiled criticism of the United States, saying: "The ends cannot justify the means."

This from a direct beneficiary of the Marshall Plan. Unreal. We should pull out of Germany now.

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."

Oh, dateline Paris. Got it.

Don't worry. Merkel is being diplomatic and saying what, in fact, is true: the ends don't justify the means.

But that in no way means, on its face, that she concludes the means undertaken by the U.S. to prosecute the war against Islamofascism are not justified.

It's like saying: "It's never appropriate for one to beat his wife." That's not the same thing as accusing one of wife-beating.

Dear France and Germany,

We have held you in cultural and linguistic servitude for a lifetime. Since you're not happy we're not heartbroken to turn your skinny white a$$es over to your new Muslim overlords. Enjoy your new dhimmitude you whiney, garlic breathed punks!

And keep your stupid tourists and cultural pilgrims out of my country!

Yep!! Ignorance is friggin' BLISS!!

Let them be angry. Let them also be afraid of us. I don't want terrorists or the world for that matter to like America. I don't care of they agree with America. I just want them to fear America. I could care less if they like us or are angry at us.

"Oderint dum metuant" - Let them hate so long as they fear.

Some humor on the subject ...

Political Science

by Randy Newman

No one likes us-I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us

We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too

Boom goes London and boom Paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now

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.

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 have one question: What would the Roman Empire have done, in response to an attack like 9/11? Certainly Rome has been the most successful empire down through the ages - what could we learn from them?

The unjust and undue criticism of the "Many" is a disguised compliment: It shows that we have aroused jealousy, envy and resentment.

Even German Chancellor Angela Merkel — an advocate of closer ties with Washington — had veiled criticism of the United States...In the fight against international terror ... respect for human rights, tolerance and respect for other cultures must be the maxim of our actions, along with decisiveness and international cooperation," she said."

It's only AP via Yahoo that packages this as a "veiled criticism of the United States." What Merkl actually said--- "Respect for human rights" and so forth --- could have been said by George Bush himself.

IMHO, the MSM frames Merkel's statement as "criticism of the USA" because they have an anti-USA agenda...

The original Le Monde editorial is often cited by leftists as proof of Euroscum "solidarity" with the U.S. that Pres. Bush subsequently "squandered" somehow. This is a lie. Those who make this claim cite only the title, "We are all Americans", but not the text. This is because the actual text is simply more of your garden variety Euroleftist prattle, albiet toned down a tad for that particular occasion. The truth is, we are, we have always been, and we shall always be despised by the French. Thank God.

Europe is now a post-Christian society that has lost the will to fight for it's survival.

They may have lost the will to resist Dhimmification, but they've kept their taste for anti-Semitism. Force of habit, I suppose.
