Nice analysis, as usual from Prager.

It's an iteresting idea, but doesn't really explain the Catholic Church's strong objection.

Third, pacifist ideas dominate European society. Another major ideological consequence of the World Wars was the belief that wars are wrong, that any evil -- from Communism to Saddam Hussein or North Korea owning weapons of mass destruction -- is better than fighting.

Sounds like a buncha weenies ripe for being taken over and dominated.

I'm glad I live in America!!

Considering that a large percentage of their population are Muslems, their views are no great surprise. My question is, why do we allow so many Muslems to immigrate here, where their greater numbers will represent a major voting bloc in our elections, representing the same influence they have in European countries.

I don't care if I sound prejudiced, but I see them as a Trojan Horse that we are inviting in with our altruistic notions. As a general rule, they can be counted on to vote against America's interests if it serves the country they immigrated from.

Perhaps they should be warned in advance that I will shoot anyone who demands that I wear a veil or not expose an ankle!!

THe Europeans hate us for being better and for not getting involved in territorial food fights. There's also resentment over our having saved their bacon in the last two world wars. The hell with 'em.

One to many, wrong is wrong. We know what is means.

[MadIvan]

Just a wild guess but millions of Europeans were wrong at about this time:

Interesting discussion bump.

First, Europe believes in socialism, while America believes in capitalism.

Second, as a result of the massive bloodshed of the nationalism-based World Wars, Western Europeans concluded that the abolition of national identities is a moral necessity. Europe's elite decided to believe in Europe and the United Nations rather than in their individual nations . . . Just as . . . the United States came to believe even more strongly in its distinct national identity.

Third, pacifist ideas dominate European society.

Fourth, Europe passionately affirms secularism, while America remains the most religious among the industrialized democracies.

Well, at least red zone America is like that . . . where are the red zones in Europe?

The UN is obviously the second coming of the Tower of Babel . . .

The irony is, of course, that the United States is, in America, pretty much what the UN pretends to be, but it not, worldwide. And that the UN's General Assembly is anologous to our Senate, and the Security Council is the closest thing they have to our House of Representatives.

I think we should simply start referring to the UN as the League of Nations. An illusory protection.

Too good not to bump!

As I wrote earlier: God Bless America, Israel and the spirit of The Lone Ranger.
