Ted Re...No man/no country is an island......we've tried it before in our history and it doesn't work for long.

You do realize the US is more of an island than Europe, that the US provides the majority of the power in NATO's defense. If Belgium, France and Germany pull out of NATO, NATO would still have most of its power left; however, if the US left, close to half of NATO's power would be gone.

And do you realize that the main intent of NATO was to keep a dangerous Russia at bay?

Do you really think we are that much smarter than the Europeans?

Why don't you read my post again. I didn't say europe was too stupid. I said Europe didn't want to see any evidence, so they chose to ignore it; just as they chose to ignore Churchhill's warnings 70 yrs earlier.

I have never once seen Europe go into denial. Its the US that was sleeping quietly in the months before 9/11....not Europe.
