Speaking of simplisticOriginally posted by Goingonit
If you give money to 3rd-world countries due to terrorism, they (correctly) will assume that terrorism leads to money, and thus support more terrorism so the US will give them more foreign aid.
What does "you give money to 3rd world countries due to terrorism" mean anyway?
It's not the US hasn't supported terrorism in the past. The Contras, for example.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

Well he is correct on at least one point. The French did withdraw from the NATO command structure becuase they found that the constraints it put on thier decision-making, sovereignty and freedom of (in)action to be unacceptable.Originally posted by paiktis22

That was many, many years ago. Countries and governements change over time, and France is a prime example of this.Well he is correct on at least one point.

Europe didn't stand up to Hitler? Holland fought, as did France, Belgium, Britain, etc. All against Hitler. And Stalin? Did the US ever fight against Stalin? Nope, cause they were afraid of him as well. And Milosevic wasn't a threath to the EU, let alone Belgium.
Brush up on your history please.Quod Me Nutrit Me DestruitComment

Why kind of revionist history books are you reading?
Belgium:Keeping with tradition, folded in the first week. France also, aww hell..you know the drill. Only england stood up to the nazi's. The rest were a bunch of sorry ass turncoats.
Berlin Airlift? Korea? No my friend.....you need to brush up on your historyAnd Stalin? Did the US ever fight against Stalin?
Oh so its ok to commit genocide, as long as its not a threat to the EU?And Milosevic wasn't a threath to the EU, let alone Belgium.

Many Belgians died in WWII from fighting in the army against Hitler, organizing resitance against Hitler, helping jews escape.
In Belgium was everyone forced 1 year of conscription during the cold war to help protect West-Germany against possible soviet invasion by Stalin.
Belgian planes and pilots where used againsts Milosevic. Belgium gave also a lot of help towards teh Kosovarian people.
Off course didn't we do that alone but togetter with the NATO and our european friends. Or should the little army of Belgium beat Stalin, Hitler,Milosevic alone?Comment

They folded under military pressure that was far in excess of what they had to stand up to it. The Belgians, Dutch and French, along with all the other countries that were conquered by the Nazis, were not yellow cowards that wouldn't dare fight the Nazis, quite the opposite. The fact that they fought Germany despite the overwhelming advantage the Nazis had over them in terms of manpower, firepower, etc., would indicate just the opposite.Originally posted by faded glory

overwhelming? Allies had 3,000,000 men. And like 1000 more tanks. It was just German strategy.
Hey Chris Matthew is right tho. You guys never want to bloody your noses. Yes you want the world to listen to you.
I was waiting for Matthews to bust out and say

The cowardice that is spoken of does not have anything to do with the armies reaction to the Germans assault (imo): frankly, there is no bravery or cowardice when there is no choice in the matter. No, imho the cowardice lies in the inaction by Europe's greatest countries in the 7-odd years prior to 1-9-39.
Which is the same course of action that is being urged upon by the US by our EU "allies." Appeasement.... do nothing and it will go away... stop asserting yourself - I mean, we didn't when Germany occupied the Rhine and everything eventually turned out OK.
As I would never accept parenting advice from my maternal grandmother, the US should never accept diplomatic and military advice from the French.Comment
