                        Well they can be different, but obviously you aren't going to team an African swallow with a European swallow without seeing a few coconuts floating in the channel.

                          Btw, using Chechnya to define Europe is like using Texas to define the US
                          The enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand.

                            On the issue of pacifism:
                            Roland has already mentioned the issue above. I would like to take it further as some people around here (you should know who you are) seems to mix up pacifism with the opinion that war cannot be used to achieve justice. Pacifism is in this context used as an insult. As for example DanS is: "Here is a quote showing that Europe is increasingly full of pacifists, while the martial spirit is alive and well in the US...".

                            As for the survey: I'm quite sceptical of this kinds of surveys. First off, there's a great risk that the results are influenced by the questions. Second, the survey is made on 8,000 people in eight countries. The article doesn't say much about how those people have been chosen but I think there's reasons to take the figures with a huge grain of salt.

                              Otherwise, i can think of a few more examples in which this sentence applies to you ...

                                Originally posted by Big Crunch The phrase "Its not what you say, its the way that you say it" springs to mind. Bush lacks the eloquence to persuade Europeans. Find a new Pres who is of the same mind, but a sweet talker, and things would be different I'm sure.
                                Absolutely. Clinton was quite popular here because he understood how to say stuff to the international community, his international policies weren't really all that different to Bush's (pre 9/11).

                                To a lot of us Euros listening to Bush (and even more so some of his cronies) is a bit like having someone urinate on you and tell you you should be enjoying it.
