I have been listening to so many different connotations of just why us "Americans" are so despised by the superior intellect and every other attribute that comprises the minds of "general Europeans", that I've taken it to heart to a great extent and have formed a response of my own. To Europe: go screw your "bloody" selves.
You call me (us) arrogant? What then, is your constant superiority complex and perceived self righteous blather of how we are so arrogant and war mongering meddlists that have nothing to add to the human race. Socialism sucks, yet all of Europe is enamored by the concept. Marxist like ideologies, laced with a sprinkling of capitalist philosophy (an oxy-moron) that allows them to survive. I guess some measure of western influence needs to be applied to "move forward". You can't rely on archaic socialist principles to drive people towards progress, even though to get a European to admit any positive from a capitalist society would be a stretch at best.....
No, I've had enough of it thank you, and not only do I feel that socialism (the common thought among so many Europeans) is a prelude to the end of a society, but have reaffirmed in my own opinion, that the western concept of society is not only better, but vastly superior. In other words, all the frogs in Paris, the socialists in Germany, and any other European individual that has words for American ways of life, stick it up your ***. You're no better than us, you're not superior, you're not more "noble", and you really, don't have it all figured out. You may think you do, but your ignorance is as astounding as your inability to comprehend how to defend the liberty of the individual.
You shriek at the thought of the American way, yet have no problem accepting any stipend of U.S. generousity, which makes you hypocrites as well as ***-holes. Hmmmmm...., and we're supposed to "learn by your shining example"? Seems to me, your shining example relies heavily upon the concept of western ideology to survive. If it were not for capitalistic ways, wouldn't most of Europe still be in the throes of Imperialism? What major event, took place to liberate the individual freedoms that so many now realize? What were their source? How was it 250 years ago? I wonder, how far advanced would Europe be without American influence and support.... I just wonder. The ideals that are taken for granted, were borne of liberty, and the war that allowed for the creation of the United States. Once the blood of those that fought and struggled for this liberty has washed away from the land and waters surrounding Europe, what is left is the virtues that so many fought for.
It's only too bad that so many so quickly forget how that was achieved. It has never been free, and never will be. Just ask any Jew, Bosnian, Afghani, Kuwaiti, resident of London in 1942, and so many others, that have benefited from U.S. involvement in foreign lands, not to mention, our own.
Our forthcoming actions in Iraq are questionable at best, but not because Saddam Hussein isn't a ruthless murderer, because he is all that, but rather because our Constitution does not provide for the sovereignity of foreign peoples. Don't ask that of a frogman however, as their advice is not trustworthy. After all, name more than one other capital of any country, that surrendered at any time without so much as a remote objection. How can anyone, trust an ideology that provides "surrender at all costs" to avoid conflict? Not only do I not trust them, but I spit on their mention. Cowards, nothing more. A society of people, that accept all that freedom has to offer, so long as someone else provides it.
There may be honor in defeat, but such is only reserved for those willing to defend it. The French are nothing of the sort and personally, I don't give a rat's *** if they hate me or us. I have no respect for them, in fact, I respect more Hussein then I do the French, at least with him, he makes no pretense about his position, and at least has the balls to stand up for what he believes. Which only means that when he dies, I will only consider him an evil tyrant that met his doom. Better to die for what you believe, than to live as cowards.
So go ahead Europe and hate us, I simply don't care. Your indifference doesn't anger me one bit, because you are dispicable and nothing you have to say or feel, means anything to me.
After Saddam's *** is kicked, don't come crawling to the Americans and demand anything, you lost that right over the past few weeks.

That was well put,and it is what I have been saying,to get out of the UN and pull our money and support from our so called friends and give it back only if they ask and only then if it really neccessary. Those folks have oil ties to Iraq and they are showing what fair weather friends they really are,I say screw 'em!
All you get out of supporting folks that didn't ask for it is arrogence and an "I didn't ask you to do it"!
From what I have seen and heard lately no one seems to be getting the concept! S.O.S.
