Hanson apparently sees no connectionn between America's constantly intervening - post WWII - in other countries' affairs and the dislike those countries have for us.

What was their excuse back in the mid 80's?

But they didn't mind Soviet-style intervention. That was and is OK.

Yes, we should have let the Greek Communists take over after WWII. Were that the case, there would be tday a lot fewer mouthy Greeks and, something almost never encountered in Europe's Dogpatch, a little humility.

What do you mean by "intervening"? Site some examples, so someone can understand your viewpoint better.

Point of order:

Question: Who does everyone scream for help from when it is their asses being invaded?
Answer: The United States of America.

That being said, we SHOULD ignore these countries. We don't OWE them our tourist dollars, military bases and the economic boon that comes with them, or any consideration at all when it comes to matters that are important to OUR COUNTRY.

It comes down to the old saying "you have made your bed, now lay in it"

I for one would love to tour Greece, but will not do so for sometime to come because of its anti-American attitudes and actions. I was shocked by the soccer stadium incident into realizing that what Greeks really wanted was for the Americans to get a stick right in the eye. They really wanted to see Americans in pain. More they wanted Serbs to murder with abandon and impunity. They wanted the communists to have their day in the sun, though the sun had long since set. Once I cared about our friendship with the Greeks, but that day has passed into night.

Yah, the "intervening" like saving Greece's FREAKING ECONOMY.

Back to DU with you! Away young Democrat!
