"What is true is that Europe has moved toward an identification with international agencies acting collectively to help the disadvantaged and the poor, and there's a belief in Europe that the Americans haven't caught up with that," said Tony Judt, aprofessor of European Studies at New York University and a critic of current Israeli policy. "Israel, with its close identification with the United States, and vice versa, embodies this defect, and the fact that Israel is in violation of all sorts of laws about occupation makes it an obvious target, much as South Africa was in the 60's and 70's, because it is against everything that Europeans see themselves as standing for."

Defect????

I guess I must have learned my history from oneof those un-PC history books. I've always been under the impression this counry was founded on something that had to do with not being controlled by others, especially those in Europe. I think it is called FREEDOM or maybe LIBERTY?

I guess I better go back to school to find out what I missed, because I sure never learned that I should have some "identification" with anything but the Constitution.

Wow. Well, in a sense, I suppose he is right. We must be pretty defective to keep sending them all of that money and sending our young GI's in to die simply because these Euroidiots cant seem to learn from history. Maybe if we stopped they would be talking about how superior we are...JFK
