Come one Bart,
don't be so selective. If you take as criteria:
a) the breaking of promises - then there is not a single country in the
western world
which has not done so in the last 25 years, America included. And if we
include UN
resolutions, Israel has broken what, how many of them?
b) the weapons sales as inevitable basis for a future conflict - again let
me remind
you that America too, has sold its share of killing technology to Saddam
Hussein, the
Afghani rebels, The Iran-Contra-gate affair, to horrible tyrants in South
and
Middle-America etc. etc.
c) Selectivity when it comes to weapons of mass destruction What about
Isreal's
nuclear stockpile, or America's immense amounts of chemical and
bacteriological
weapons which it has used and tested on its own civilians in the past?
Which country
by the way was it that was the only country till now used the atom bomb on
civilian
targets? To end the war and save the lives of the G.I's, as consensus will
it, or to
test and flex a muscle against Russia? Who can tell? North Korea by the way
is a far
greater threat than Irak will ever be. Those Al Samud misslies, I don't see
them
flying to Washington. At best, immensely souped up, they would reach a
European
target. Yet we do not live in this constant, self induced trauma of War on
terror.
America, the most powerful nation on Earth is afraid of what? Irak? Saddam
Husein? Do
we really believe that?
So what is America doing now? Buying poor countries, putting them on the
payroll of
Uncle Sam, which the average American doesn't even know where to put on the
map, in
order to raise enough votes in the UN. A sad step for such a great nation.
Now I assume you will not admit to any of the above, let alone give it some
room for
thought - which I think is part of the European frustration. We see history
in a
different perspective, I suppose.
The people here in Europe - amongst others me - are not disgusted by
America, no, we
are disgusted by the selective memory and opportunism in the geopolitical
game. We
know what war is like, having had two world wars. America would have had my
voice had
it but been to rid Irak of a tyrant. But no, ten to twenty years ago that
was not an
option. Why? This holier than thou attitude simply does not pan with
wanting to be the
one who is morally right. I am not against America, I think it is a great
and
beautiful country with a great people - it is unfortunately currently in
the grip of a
terror - and this challenge to overcome it is the growth process. If the
American
people grow - they will be a magnificent example for the rest of us. If
their leader
instead chooses to plunge us all in a sea of fear - well, I guess you know
the
outcome. Then fear will rule us all. And we have seen plenty of that in
Europe.
Kind regards,
Theo
