I agree. But the EU picked the most vulnerable countries - places like Cypress, Spain and Italy - to house them. I don't think there are any in France, Germany or Belgium. In addition, if I recall correctly, the U.S. (probably Colin Powell) put a lot of pressure on these countries, which are actually friendlier to us than to the EU for many and varied historical reasons.

These guys should have been shot outright, and then nobody would have to worry about them.
