Queen's Navy Yeah, it was "Rule Victoria!" My male chauvinism coming through, I guess. I followed up on Tek's comments on various Political Science types who he believed are the best by googling and reading excerpts from them tonight. They are, of course, multilateralists to the bone. I don't advocate a "lone wolf" policy, but I think it was time for a change. I think Europe had got to used to playing "Greece" to our "Rome" in the cold war years. We have an intellectual history in this country of believing that European culture is superior to American Culture going back to right after the Civil War. Our top students went to Germany to study Science and Philosophy, and came back here to teach the superiority of the European Culture. When you read the articles by present American academics, the "Europhile" attitude comes through, IMO. The Europeans have not helped matters by making it clear that they consider Bush to be a stupid, ignorant, illiterate, cowboy. I sometimes think that the best way to describe the situation would be a cartoon that shows Uncle Sam driving a car full of his family, with a "Europe" Mother-in-law bitching in the back seat.
