I'm confused: you're from Europe, but you say 'we saved your butts during WW2'????

I'm a bit curious to know when did you move from Europe to the States...

I tell you what, if I pop OBL, I would gladly donate 20 millions out of 25 to the families of WTC victims...
Fair enough ?

And I tend to the graves of Commonwealth and US soldiers in our local cemetary as a volunteer...I don't need to be lectured by anyone on gratitude to the fallen.

I am an american, a croatian, and a european. I have been living in the USA for almost 15 years, though my childhood was spennt in the old Yugoslavia in the state of croatia.

I use the term "we" not to take credit for anything done by anyone. I use the term as to express my acceptance of what my country and my culture has done, good and bad. I use it for america to accept that we did good in WW2 and the cold war.  I use it to accept that "we" croatians did many terrible attrocities in WW2.  Its accepting all these parts of my culture and identity.
I feel a cultural tie to my europeann backround as a croatian, an austrian/german and as part italian. I also feel strong cultural tie to my american life and tradions and history and what this nation brought me.

Is using "we" in those terms really so bad? Do you not accept the truth of what your culture has done, good and bad?

Are you going to deduct that from the $50 million Prescott Bush sent Hitler.

[GRUNHERZ]

How or why would somebody give hitler $50 million?

Sorry you can't have it both ways...

I am at last coherent with myself: if I don't feel obliged to thank today's US generation for WWI and WWII, I don't hold today's german, japanese, croatia, etc generation responsible for the atrocities committed half a century ago.

You, OTOH, seem to consider that it's right to remind ad nauseam to the french people that they are forever indebted to the USA although:

1. you only live in the US for almost 15 years... do I have to point out that you have taken ABSOLUTELY NO PART to those events...

2. to the contrary, your origins link you to countries which were marching along the enemy!!


Don't you think that a little humility wouldn't hurt you? If you don't, then I pity you.

[GRUNHERZ]

So on one hand I cant ask frencxh to be greatful fro US help in WW2 - because thats in the past.

But on the other hand I cant be a real american because I come from a country whose government was allied in the past with US enemies.

And lets be clear abou that my euro friend. The croatian puppet govt was allied with germany. But there were huge nunbers of croiatian partisans fighting for the allies.

The french puppet government was allied with germany. But there were huge numbers of partisans too.

The French were "marching" with the enemy too.

I think you are trying to have it both ways...

I accept all the good and bad of my cultural hitory. Just gecause I wasnt around it doesnt mean that it didnt happend and it isnt a part of my cultural background.  

You say that you are proud and patriotic, yet you dont grasp that simple concept. I guess you are only proud and patriotic for what your country has done in your life, what would that be making chocholates?  

So for example going by your critreria no european can claim pride in old history of euro tradiotions, no beethoven, no cathedrals, no fine architecturre, no mozart, not chaikovsky, no michalengelo, or davinci, or gutenburg, or  shakespeare or any of thast. Because none of you were alive then...

No, you can't say 'we' saved your butts since:

a) not a single relative of yours was even an American citizen at the time of WW2

b) your actual relatives were from a country allied with fascist scum

Hope that clears up your apparent confusion.

Must such to look like OBL!!!

Not true.

a) My grandmother was an american citizen from birth and i had family living in the USA since the early part of century.

b) So was france, finland, rumania, bulgaria, norway, japan, russia, italy, ukraine, serbia, slovakia etc. bsically all of europe...  

The croatian puppet government was no different than all the others. We had our guys allied to germnas and we had guys fighting with partisans... And just because you dont like me and you think its convenient to say otherwise does not change that fact, Tito was a croatian, the majority of the partisans were croatians...

You lefties often accuse me iof black/whitie thinking, But here you cnat even greasp the concept of a guy who is willing to ackgnowledge and accept the fcat that his nation had done both good and bad in its history...
