Ah, cmon, some of us want to see the frogs get nuked. It isn't like they haven't been asking for it or anything...I mean, Saddam *IS* their friend, just like Adolf was!

It is a mistake to conclude from sources like BBC, Le Monde, Corriere della Sera, etc. that Europeans are opposed to what we must do. In fact, the European media follows the NY Times/Washington Post line on international matters involving the US as slavishly as newspapers in Des Moines or Kansas City do. I have talked to intelligent professional Europeans who are in complete agreement with us. One of them told me that the US was magnificent: no superpower in the history of the world has ever exercised its power with such responsibility and magnanimity. So what we are talking about is the same problem there as here: "liberal" elitists who turn their noses up at the idea of US success, a worse outcome for them, given their worldview, than further terrorism.
