>> This ignore-button is awfully visible right now.

I've been considering it.

>> But to many people in the non-English language areas, it is very clear that USA has part in the trouble around Israel and support Saudi-Arabia too much

You've been a relatively polite msft/usa basher, but now that you've become an apologist for terrorism, its an easy decision to activate <ignore>.

Prosperous investing,

<<<EU has not been involved with starting any of these wars.>>>

The EU also showed no backbone in stopping a war either. Where was it when genocide was occurring in Bosnia? Since 1944 the US has based some of its armed forces in Europe, do you ever wonder why?

<<<There are some good reasons why Americans are hated so much at so many places around the world - these people feel that USA limits their liberty.>>>

I hope you don't share this belief. Ignorance and envy are traits hard to overcome.

>This ignore-button is awfully visible right now. If I think about wars started in the last 50 years (what I would call recent history), I remember:

- Korea
- Israel
- Vietnam
- Somalia
- Chechnya
- Iraq/Kuwait

- Jugoslavia

Lars,
It is true EU did not started any war (maybe involved in Yugoslavia conflict) because they are weak and powerless. The image of French troop being shot and overran in Yugoslavia few years ago by Bosnian Serb thugs is unimaginable. W/O American troops to help, Yugoslavia conflict still a hot war.

It proved time and time again that European are very aggressive people. From ancient history of Rome Empire to most recent of World War 1, World War 2... EU members are the only countries that colonized and enslaved the rest of the world when they are strong and flex their muscles. American, even at our best opportunity, don't colonize any country. We liberate people and not enslave them. We demonstrate our value but not impose them.

Now you can put me on ignor button.
