I don't see my comments as an anti-German “rant”... they are honest observations.
I have been underimpressed by European support for the United States efforts against terrorism. The negative comments coming out of France and Germany have caused me to have to rethink my respect for them.
Are our nation’s friends? There are times when I wonder. It may be a mistaken premise of mine, but I don’t see the same support for what were are doing for Iraq, that our nation supplied during the Second World War or the airlift for Germany. And I’ll be quite frank about it, even folks in the United States are guilty of this.
I somethings think there is very little respect for the United States and what it tries to do. Very few people thought we shouldn’t help liberate Europe. Many people think it’s a waste of time to liberate Iraq. And if it comes to having to enter Iran to stop them from developing nuclear weapons and using them, there is almost no support whatsoever.
What has happened to Europe? It would rather sit there and carp about Iran than do something about it. And sentiment across the continent doesn’t seem particularly supportive of the U.S. despite it’s efforts on Europe’s behalf.
You may not understand me, but I have one hell of a hard time understand you too.
When I read this article it seemed like the attention to this event in history had been minor. If that perception is untrue, then I owe you an appology on the matter. If the perception was somewhat true, then I don’t. And either way, I am sick and tired of the U.S. having to move world opinion in order to neutralize today’s threats to world peace.
Color me one U.S. citizen who has had it up to here with luck warm support from it’s suppsed allies.
