That's amazing, considering the majority of posters are Usians.

The only flaw in Blair argument is that it is incomplete.
Of course we have all the interest in a cooperation between EU and US. However, the EU has its (citizen's) interests and the US as its (citizen's) interests. Only a strike of luck will make both interests allways non-conflicting. When they are conflicting, reason, and the notion the cooperation is the best way, should ease negotiation (but not capitulation of one part, be that US or EU).
And, if asked to choose between US and EU, I'm sure Blair will choose UK (ie, whatever serves him best).
Any doubts about that?

As an example for rule 2, America inc. has been bombarding about how great your financial system is. One enron, one Ebbers and several other "incidents" later, there still is the same blah, although more muted and with some *cough* dissent.
Now I can understand why antiamerican noises hit some nerves on your side of the pond, but most of you haven't witnessed the crap we've been exposed to from your side, roughly since the end of the cold war and the collapse of the japanese economic miracle - guess for lack of other proper comparisons for your #1-ism.

Why is it these threads are NEVER started by Americans, always by Europeans?
Quote:

Antiamericanism was pretty much the reserve of the wild left and the very extreme right. It has become very fashinable recently, and I do not think that the bulk of the blame for this is with any substantial change in Europe, but rather in America. I'd also point out that the major newspapers usually do not run "fascist americans" op-eds, while eg the Washington Post does not hesitate to bring a "antisemitic europe" op-ed, and similar things in the NYT....
|
Probaly because the US isn't facist, while most of Europe is anti-semitic?
Whatever happened to the Jews of Europe, anyway?

As for Colin Powell or our own Chris## here - "I feel your pain".

Yep, and that's mostly my doing too.  Better give me the credit I deserve, you'll thank me when you're older. (including USians, who want to get rid of NATO anyways).

Re: Roland, why do you bring me into this nonsense?

You mean, we suck at boasting ?
"Why is it these threads are NEVER started by Americans, always by Europeans?"
You're suffering from selective perception. Several America the greatest, kick ass, nr1, stupid europeans threads.
"while most of Europe is anti-semitic?"
I've challanged you several times to bring the evidence that western europe is (emphasis on the presence) more antisemitic than the US. Put up or shut up.
If you really think Paiktis went too far there - I find your antisemitism trolling equally disgusting.
"The only place I see this Euro stupidity is on Apolyton, and from the kiddies, Roland.

You need to read more euro leftist stuff, and then some anti-european hate propaganda from US rightwing "thinktanks". Loads of stupidity.

No, I was actually telling you that I can understand your initial reaction. Go back and do some bias-free reading if you can.
"Since I'm sure his next post will be a white wash of the Holocaust"
You may think this is a funny troll, but it isn't funny. About as funny as me saying "I hope you and all the idiots like you perish in the next terrorist attack on the US".

Hey, if we get rid of NATO can we keep our new found friends in Eastern Europe?
Wouldn't that just be the worst nightmare possible for the EU? Flanked by a hostile US to the west and a hostile Russia + on the east.

I don't start inflamatory threads with the intention of making people mad, that is what a troll is.
What I do is confront the stupidity and mindless hate and jealousy thrown the US' way, a MAJOR difference.
You should be deeply ashamed of the way the EU has acted as of late reguarding Jews.

Oh, and yes, saying Europe is anti-semetic is a moronic and idiotic thing. Which means, having Chris saying it is par for the course.
I wonder why you (Roland, I mean) don't just block him. He doesn't say anything really interesting to you, and he just trolls about how all of your Euros hate Jews.

Chris 62 and EuroTrollies are the reason these debates never work.
Well, one of the reasons.
And you can't really call them debates, not really. They're more like two circle jerks trying to complete at... circle jerking... well, there went that metaphor.

In case some of you j*ck*ss Europeans haven't realized it yet, Osama bin Laden hates your guts and has you in his sights for "supporting" America's war on terrorism. You've already gone too far in his fundamentalist eyes.
So, Saint Marcus, Roland and Paiktis, what to do? You want to save your yellow-streaked asses? You better do a fast job of convincing your leaders to turn their backs on America and the war on terrorism. If you succeed, it might buy you a few years before a truly resurgent Islamic fundamentalist explodes across a brow-beaten Europe.
I predict it will begin in France.

Remember that the land Israel exists on was previously owned by Europeans - so we were the ones who gave them that country - it certainly wasn't the USA.
Or do you come from an alternate reality? (or more likely an altered mind-state  )
