and to the present day by fuding one of the EU's greatest serial-mass-murderers.
The EU has funded and thus CAUSED hundreds of thousand of murders and causalties.

EU's Solana says causes of terrorism need tackling
04 September 2004
Tackling terrorism requires addressing its causes and not just its results, the EU's top foreign policy chief Javier Solana said in a newspaper interview published Saturday following the bloody end to Russia's deadly school siege.
"We (Europeans) believe the problem of terrorism must be resolved not only by dealing with its effects but also by concentrating on its causes," Solana told the Corriere della Sera.
"There are old wounds in some geographical regions which as long as they are not healed will continue to create a fertile ground for terrorism to develop," he added, citing the Arab-Israeli conflict.
On Chechnya, he said the 25-nation bloc's position was clear. "In Chechnya, we have to find a formula of a political solution."
And he warned of the need to look beyond what he termed Chechen terrorism.
"We are thinking also of public displays by Chechen people who contest the climate in which they have had to live for a long time," Solana said.
On Friday, the EU refused to rush to judgment on how Russian authorities acted in the bloody end to the three-day hostage crisis in North Ossetia, but said it wanted Moscow's explanation of the tragedy.
Rescuers have recovered 210 bodies from the school in Beslan where there was a bloody standoff between hostage-takers and federal troops who stormed the building on Friday, Interfax reported.
About 1,000 hostages, many of them chilren had been held by militants said to be demanding independence for Chechnya.
Do the right thing.
I suggest it be the theme of the universe.
We need to kill the terrorists.
It's the likes of this jackass that have nutured and encouraged the Islamic butchers.
Solana can go rot in hell.
The EU wants Moscow's explanation of the tragedy? Are they crazy? The explanation is that terrorists held children and adults hostage and killed a few hundred of them. What about mass murder does the EU not understand? The EU's 'I know nothing' stance is getting really old.
I'm thinking your "oldest" is about 50 by now. It's been nearly that long since right was differentiated from wrong.
The future responses from a sKerry Presidency.
He will be a puppet for the EU.
European Union: "WE SURRENDER!"
Okay, problem solved.
Blush has it right. The cause is evil and evil grows under tyranny. Maybe Russia will join us now but the EU babies won't bother until the thugs attack them. Then they will be like SKerry, cry because everyone is picking on them.
I say the causes of Euroweenie arrogance need tackling, starting with Solana.
"We (Europeans) believe the problem of terrorism must be resolved not only by dealing with its effects but also by concentrating on its causes," Solana told the Corriere della Sera.
We (Americans) believe this as well, if by "concentrating on its causes" you mean "eliminating its base". But I don't think you do. So I'll settle for addressing the problem of the terrorist's main facilitators, namely the EU.
1/2 of that, actually. He took a lesson from it and I'm damn proud of him for it.
Of course, the EU condemns regime change as a method of "tackling" terrorism.
Actually, Mr Solana, I suspect the word "tackling" is a bit too violent and may offend your EEE-UUU constituents. Perhaps flag football techniques are a better comparison.
This is a WWII redux. The Americans and the Russians are going to have to work together again to save the world. In WWII it was the Nazi menace. This time it is the Islamic menace. In my opinion all of Western Europe is auditioning for the role of Switzerland in the upcoming conflict. Play both sides. Stay neutral. Wait for the winner to be determined.
But the joke is ultimately on the Euro-whores. If the Americans and Russians do not prevail, they Europeans are going to really regret it.
