Nice to see that NATO is in reasonable hands, at the very least.

As soon as "Europe" comes to realize that they are NOT a superpower, and with their socialist bent can never become one, they may be able to take their rightful place in the world order.

"Your country focused very much on the fight against terror while in Europe we focused to a lesser extent on the consequences for the world," Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, NATO's secretary general, said in an interview. "We looked at it from different angles, and that for me is one of the reasons you saw such frictions in the trans-Atlantic relationship."
Translation: "We Euros thought you cowboys were stirring things up and if we ignored terrorism and denounced you, the terrorists would naturally leave us alone. They didn't. So please save us again, America!"
To: CWOJackson
"Notice the euro with some spine and making these statements is Dutch"With the wake-up calls they've been receiving, I'm not too surprised. Good news, whatever the reason.
To: neverdem
Unfortunately it took a terrorist attack on a Dutch citizen to wake up the Dutch NATO Sec Gen. Better late then never.
If they don't join the fight (the very long fight) soon, Europe could become Muslim within the next 100 years.

"If the gap is to be bridged, it has to be done from the European side and not from the United States," he said, adding that the conflict in Iraq, the issue that helped divide the alliance, now provided an opportunity for uniting it."

The Dutch are currently under attack, however, I don't see France or Germany speaking up about it.
To: CWOJackson
Yes, but no one in W. Europe listens to them. They are "conservative," at least by EU standards, which is to say that they are not wholly bent on destroying Western Civilization.
To: neverdem
The Dutch aren't all a pack of socialist flakes, especially in the hinterland.

Yeah, something tells me the Dutch now get it. And it helps that they hold the EU rotating presidency.

Hopefully the rest of the NATO decision makers will not have a "French moment" and torpedo this thinking.
