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.
As I can see here are only Americans taking. I am from good old Europe and found your website in google and I am very interested in this news and your comments.
I just want to show you my opinion that's typical European:
We know that we are no superpower and we know that it is the USA. But why should be our right place under the thumb of the USA? At the moment there's a big gulf between Europe and the USA. We aren't interessted in a fight against the USA (there would be no reason)but we don't think that the arguments for the iraq-war are right.
But why do you think we would submit to you and your ideals? We would never do that! and we would never dare to attack you!
but what I've read here really shocked me and let me feel very angry!We arent inferior, just because we don't call us America! May you don't see it, but we are a free, democratic countries!
I see you are talking about Europe, but I don't think it's the real Europe you are seeing. As a world power you would really have to know something about the rest of the world!
In American films I always hear something about your freedom, peace and liberty.
There is just a little difference to Europe:
We aren't talking about freedom... we are livin' it!
