Muslims immigrate to other countries. Locals then slowly convert to Islam. And then when there is an Islamic majority, civil war breaks out, employing terrorism and all, until the country becomes an Islamic religious state
Enough of the revolutionsry bullcrap. I more than know enought reasons to distrust the history of the US. and I probably grew up in a far more anti-US millieu than you, but lets get one thing straight. People act out of their own fears, people have free will and choice, and the US is not behind every plot.
Why did Saudi Arabia go along, becuase they fear us, because they think the US will invade or topple the Sauds if they don't do our unholy bidding? NO! Its bacause without our HELP they would not be able to keep their damn heads! they do not fear our actions against them, but our inaction for them. They back us for their own selish needs. If a time came when they did not need US hlp to sty alive they would and could cross us, just as Lybia, Syria, north korea, Iraq, and Cuba have done. Hell, we are only 90 miles away from Casro. If we are both so nefarious and so powerful, then why is Castro still in power when he is only 90 miles away? Either the US is not as neferious as you say, or as powerful as you say. I would osit that the US is neither as powerful or evil as you mke it out to be. Let me give you advice. If the revolution is ever to work, the revolutionaries need to know the strenghts, weaknesses, the real intentions and powers of the enemy. They way you are going, the revolution willl never succeed.

Excellent article! It's nice to see someone give the US credit for all that it has done for Europe in the past 50 years. The author negelects to take into account that in the past "multilateralism" has often meant European leaders demanding the services of American soldiers, sailors and airmen, financed by American citizens, putting themselves in harm's way, in order to satisfy the new European view of a world of laws. They want a cop, they don't want a cop. No one could follow the capricious whims of such masters and retain their self respect.

Iraq and Iran and Syria are all very involved financially and miletarily in the Palestinian 'uprising' (read: war) against Israel.
Yes, so what? It's not in my interest to do anything drastic about that.
I'm more hopeful than the author. Something he did not address is the one-two 'punch' of the peaceful, cooperative Euros backed up by the economic and military might of the United States. I think 'Western' ideas are well represented after reading the article.
Two friends. Two methods. I'll bet that would be more effective among other cultures than both being pacifists or both being militarists.
The article was no knock on anyone. It was an examination of differences and an attempt to explain them.
The view from Canada is an unusual one. You can all tell me to go play hockey if you wish. It's only a couple weeks till the rink freezes up.

I would use large amounts of napalm on China (in a war). But of course, I'm a psycho and would target the civilian population (but not at the expense of military targets).
I think this article clearly demonstrates why the US is a super power and the countries of western Europe, unified or otherwise, have been defanged (by self or others) and intend to remain that way.
You have to remember, German gov't has intentionally remained militarily weak and only after the terrible events of the '76(?) olympic games and the catastrophic failure of the german police to contain the situation have they created an elite military-like counterterrorism unit, the GSG-9. But even so, it answers to the federal police rather than the military. All this was done because they wanted to "show" the world that there would be no future threat from them and that nazism or destructive nationalism would not resurface in Germany. The rest of europe with the exception of the UK has been either in isolationist mode, like swizerland, or in "we'll take it up the butt from the biggest **** and like it" mode like France. It has been this way for more than a century now and has remained so throgh 2 world wars. At this point its in their culture. In fact this is exactly why the both world wars have existed in the first place. But especially had the rest of europe not made huge concessions to nazi germany in the 1930s, but instead intervened, there would likely be no second world war. The US is also partly to blaim here, because at the time it was playing its own version of this same standoff game and was lulled in its own isolation. But obviously the US did an about face and never looked back since December 7, 1941.

It wouldn't affect them either way, Krop. I was just commenting on the "will sell out anyone/everyone part" of his statement though.
