They have done a lot for us, fighting terrorism, and they are good allies.
That said, the problem is the socialists, and there as many such left-wing socialists in the United States --- which socialists oppose our moving against Saddam Hussein --- as there are such socialists in Germany and in France combined.
If the terrorists attacked Berlin this evening, and they killed 5,000 Germans, we are assured that "Americans" --- such socialists, here --- will oppose going to the Germans' aid.
I'm voting that we help the Germans; same for the French; same for the Russians; because there are as many of them who would fight for freedom, as there are, of us, so willing.
But I admit that I have no interest in helping the Red Chinese, because it is they, who are our mortal enemies; it is Red China who has been whispering in the ears of the "third world" order, giving that, fascist order, cause to have a confidence serving Beijing.
