Krusher, it runs bouth ways. What came first, the chicken or the egg?

I doubt many Europeans get excited and happy each time an American soldier dies. Those that I know that are very critical of the US uses it as 'I told you so' material, but they take no pleasure in the deaths. Quite the contrary; they'd been prevented (they claim) if there wasn't a war.

At any rate, I can understand Americans getting annoyed at anti-US sentiments in Europe. But you gotta understand that the ugly American legend has soem truth to it. We've seen time and time again members on this board express that 'I don't care about world opinion'. So it comes from a perception that Americans are arrogant and non caring, doing what they will because they *can*.

Am just trying to say that both sides need to chill out and that both sides are to blame/are victims.

No doubt wishful thinking conservative rhetoric being quoted here. I still have faith that the American public will wake up way before then and throw the little weasels out. Did I say weasels? I'm sorry, I meant cockroaches.

2004 - GWB jr
2008 - GWB Sr
2012 - Jeb
2016 - Jeb

till 2020

that'd make 32 years of bush in the white house 1988 - 2020, just that the bush from 92 - 00 belonged to an intern

What I would like to see is some of these Europens contriput some of their Police force to help Iraq. It would be nice if we could start sending some of our troops home and let the civilian authorities take over some of these jobs. But then that would mean Europe would have to do something for peace in the world, and we cann't do that. Let the American taxpayer pay for that.

What Gsholz said.

We (Italy) have troops deployed in the border zone in Afghanistan, and are deploying military/police forces in Southern Iraq.

But that does'nt count, correct?

Excuse me mister ignorant american, wasn't it Bush Jr. who was reluctant to allow UN to go in Iraq now after the war?

and UN as we know, pretty much includes most of the europe under the question here.

Also, europe has always been the one to clean up things after US.
US had an idea to have a bombardment war in Kosovo -> soon as they were done with the bombing, european countries took over cleaning up the mess caused by all the three.
So europe is put to pay something which US should be contributing as well - but doesn't.

Sounds like you're ready to make claims without any research, just to mock the europeans.
Hypocrit perhaps?

My stepbrother has served in the UN forces and been out there in the problem countries to help with the peace process.
I suppose he was there on a holiday trip paid by finnish UN forces, not to help with the peace.

Could we leave the Yank and Euro bashing behind - doesn't serve any purpose and just gets nasty quickly - agree to disagree and move on.

Close, but that's not quite how it's going to happen. GW will win in '04. Then Hillary is gonna win in both '08 and '12. Then younger brother Geb will take it in '16 and '20.

It's going to go Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush. 32 straight years of Clinton/Bush.

Hhm... by then Chelsea and the drunk Bush daughters might be ready to give it a run.
