You just made the author's point:
It (Europe) never fights even the worst evils, not even to halt genocides in Kosovo, Rwanda and the Sudan. It is "pacifist" -- meaning that it will squeeze every drop of advantage out of Saddam Hussein and the Mullahs of Iran, while expecting the United States to do the heavy lifting. And then it goes into screaming fits when the US acts to protect Europe's own vital oil supply through the Gulf. Europe is now a hysterical old woman.
I respect and admire the British soldier. I've worked side by side with the Royal Marines in Southeast Asia and Iraq. However I do agree with many of the author's points. I'm not in favor of completely pulling out of NATO, but I think all parties should sit down and discuss relationships and responsibilities.
The United States has no greater friend than the UK... but I wonder if the UK's feelings are mutual.
Sorry to wax long winded but one final point is this FRiend, Iran wants nuclear weapons. Period. Anyone who thinks differently is burying their head in the sand.
The problem is that socialists/communists worldwide bombard the locality with anti American propaganda, and the US does nothing to counter it.
Simple things, like list all the people who are paid communist fellow travellers, who are members of communist front organisations, who have spoken or written in support of communism.
Publish the Stasi and other East European payrolls for agents.
Then the public would see how widespread and pervasive the communist fifth column is.
It’s no use blaming the British public. They only go on what they are told, and they are told the Commie story.
Even the BBC......
