Re: ...the majority Europeans still see Israel as the greatest threat to the world peace. Oops...
But tell me, Ed, who once said: "The Arabs got the oil but we've got the match..."??
Of course, most Europeans view Israel as the world peace's foremost threat, not because of Israel's own military and economic clout but because of the ominous leverage she wields in the US... Somehow, the world looks like a car driven by an 800-pound American gorilla who's himself guided by the Israeli backseat driver AND THAT's a threat to world peace.
Moreover, you should also keep in mind that just because CNN, the NYT, Al-Jazeera and (French daily) Le Monde spin the OBL/Al-Qaeda spiel around the clock, it doesn't mean that public opinion buy that crap!! How come we haven't heard of a single opinion poll on the credibility of the official "bin-laden-al-qaeda" theory? You Yanks --but Europeans too-- keep polling people all the time... We are overwhelmed by daily polls and opinion surveys on the most futile subject --from Lady Diana to Frankenfood to "who killed JFK?" to... you name it. Yet, so far, we've never been asked "Do you really think OBL is the arch-enemy of civilization?" or "do you really swallow the al-qaeda crap hook, line and sinker?"
So far, no TV crew, no investigative journalist --except CIA hacks like Th. Meyssan et al.-- has been allowed to conduct (and broadcast) a free, thorough enquiry on 911, including interviews with eyewitnesses in NY, Wash. DC, Pentagon employees, etc. Again, just compare the current blackout on 911 with the cornucopia of TV shows, books and reportages on the assassination of JFK, the Warren Commission,....
Hence the anxiety among European opinion as we ask ourselves, if Judeofascists can freely engage in terrorism and blackmailing around the world --including the US-- then... who'll ever check them???? Australia was reluctant to join the US-UK forces in Iraq? BANG! A bomb blows up an Indonesian resort with 180 Aussies inside... and PM Howard got the message. The Brits want to coax a fair deal for the Palestinians? Warning #1: Lord Levy and his wife got molested in their London house.... the Brits don't get the message and they even side with the French on the issue of Iran's nuke program!!!! That's too much for Bloody Sharon: the British consulate and HSBC office are bombed in Istanbul....
The Yanks had better recall the late French Prez Mitterrand's witticism: L'intelligence est la chose la mieux partagée au monde... quant au courage, c'est autre chose!
