And let me be the first to agree with you G-man! Europe has as much moral superiority as the US. does.
I would imagine that many of the politicians here in Europe are corrupt bastards. Look at Berluscoogni, the Italian President. I mean, he tried to pass a law that would render him immune to any lawsuit against on the grounds of corruption! How's that for a politician?

You have to remember that it was just that, some 60 years ago. And it that time I think there was a generel consensus that war should be avoided, as Europe had just not 20 years ago been the field for WWI.
Europe has been the battleground for the two greatest and most terrible wars ever to take place in history, that is certain to leave a somewhat reluctant people when it comes to war.
USA is just one nation, Europe is many, all which have their own agenda, that is bound to create a LOT of friction, and some of these nations have considerable military might to back their agendae with.
Another thing that defines the differences between Europe and US. We think differently than you do, things that may be important to you might not be so important here.
I mean, if you are very touchy about some issues, don't EVER come to Denmark seeing as we have a very twisted humour here and we will make fun of EVERYTHING!
And for the record, no, I am not making fun now.
My point is that Europeans and Americans don't think alike, hell, Europeans don't alike!
What may be important for America may not be as important here, and vice versa.

And many Europeans are tired of listening to Israel playing the victim, even people and decendants of the people who helped the jews during the war. It's kinda sad, it really is, but that's the way it is. I myself, as I mentioned early, are a little confused as to why the children of Nazi's should be, and are being held responsible for their parents actions.
And I ask all of you when I ask this question! Would you like to be held responsible for something another person did?
