"The New World that we must lead"

It's exactly this kind of talk that gives a European like me the creeps. Do the US want to establish a "fourth Reich" ? Do you really believe you are on a mission from God to rid the world from "Evil" ? Please get real. If the US attack Irak without UN authorisation it creates a precedent for every country with a big gun that wants to attack/conquer/disarm its neighbour. That means we throw thousands of years of civilisation overboard and go back to the law of the jungle and living in a cave. Try to understand European criticism does not mean we hate America or have signed up with "the Axis of Evil". We just think that throwing a lot of weapons of mass destruction on Bagdad is not the best way to keep terrorists from using WMD against the US.

Some other things I fail to understand about the American priorities in the "War on Terror":

What about Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida ? I thought they were first on the hitlist ? Haven't heard about them lately.
If you are looking for a tyrant with nuclear WMD, why not first attack North-Korea ?

And finally, most Europeans get really upset when they hear George Bush mixing political speech with the language of a religious sermon. It makes him sound like Mullah Omar. Some of the worst crimes against humanity are performed in the name of God/Allah.

I do not have many illusions about the sympathy of this forum for my points of view, but I hope to have given you some insight in the mind of a "weasel".

Let the Belgo-bashing begin !
