Rafaello Pantucci - So Confused
I read The Washington Times editorial by Mr. (I think he's a guy, although he doesn't display in his writing any testosterone whatsoever, just the opposite) Pantucci and couldn't help but think: Here's a man who doesn't understand the world we live in:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/commentary/20060112-090214-1206r.htm
Europe is a socialist quagmire of stagnant economies, increasing Muslim demographics and fundamentalism, under the gun from an Iranian madman - and helpless to react with anything but moral equivalence platitudes. There have been two major, 9/11-style attacks by Muslim fundamentalists in Europe and Iran is about to have ballistic nuclear weapons, but Pantucci is arguing that Europeans won't support 'security at any cost', as if the US is taking pages out of the old Stalin or Mussolini models.
Pantucci , probably unwittingly, clearly represents the reasons for the slide into irrevalence of old Europe, as well as the reasons that Europe is such a ripe target for radical Islam. A socialist mindset combined with moral equivalence is a ticket to power for any group with balls, no scruples, and a willingness to get nasty. If Hitler was alive today, and if NATO wasn't around, Adolf could take the entire continent with one troop of Munich-area girl scouts.
Today Angela Merkel, Germany's new Chancellor, is in the US whining about Guantanomo Bay and secret prison camps after her government just freed a terrorist who brutally killed an American serviceman. The UK's parliament is rebelling against deportation for terrorist-supporting Imams, France is acquiescing to radical Muslim economic blackmail, and Spain - Spain is already the first Dhimmi-nation in the new Islamic Caliphate. All around the world, and especially in the US and Australia, Spaniards are running neck-and-neck with Frenchmen as the world's foremost girlie-men.
And Pantucci says that not only is the US wrong for standing up for western civilization, but that we should join the pantywaists of old Europe in their Dhimmitude. Silly Raffaelo, don't worry your pretty little head about it - we'll continue to protect the free, civilized world BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. We'll use whatever means is most effective in limiting risk to Americans and our soldiers, and not care a bit about the rights of proven terrorists and murderers.
Enjoy your last few years of freedom Europe, we won't be coming to save you this time - not unless you prove that you're willing to save yourselves. We don't waste our blood for fools and pussies.
Adios MF,
Doug

It's exactly this sort of attitude that has created the massive rift that our governments are striving to mend. You may be right about certain issues concerning security. Europe does indeed need to be bolder in its foreign policy, but European governments and people will not be won over by such rhetoric as opposed to carefully reasoned arguments.
Tell that to the folks killed in the London bombings, and as matter of fact, to the idiots who burned all the vehicles in Paris. Set aside the fact that a true ally would have been 'won over' for all time by 9/11, look honestly at the Muhammed comic fiasco, the Paris riots, Iranian instransigence
Your 'reasoned arguments' are all around you. Wake up and smell the semtex Eruo.
And personally, I don't really care if our governements ever mend the 'rift'. Euro governments have betrayed the US, except for the UK, just barely. France, Germancy, Belgium, Spain, etc. can all pound sand as far as I'm concerne.
