I'm confused now, I just read an article here the other day... I will search for it and provide the link... which stated the Cold War roles have become reverse since the start of our war on Islamic Terror. In a nut shell, Western Europe has become more socialized and sympathetic to Arab oil interest to the point it drives their foriegn policy above any moral objectives or considerations; meanwhile the states in the former Eastern Block have been more supportive of U.S. and Israeli efforts to quash terror.
The example in the article was Czechoslovakia and Romania, where the respective Presidents called Arafat a terrorist and endorsed Israeli incursions into the West Bank and Gaza to root out Arab-backed terror. They were summarily chastized by the EU, and their admission into the EU was threatened if they didn't toe the EU pro-Arab line.
I doubt they've been reversed. You can always count on the latter day liberals of Europe to hop on whatever PC, "we are the world," "we must coddle the third world" bandwagon these days. Just like their brethren here in the states. As for the East Bloc, its all in the deception.
