   I guess they don't teach world history in the EU.   
   Europe has a nice rich history of war, disease, slavery, tyranny, and   
   religious extremism.  Just because YOU feel all warm and fuzzy now,   
   doesn't mean that will be the case 50 years from now or even 50 days   
   from now.  Let's see how you handle Putin's sabre rattling.   
   You guys had your run at the world and now you are jealous because the   
   young upstart is making some noise.  I think the old saying about the   
   pot calling the kettle black applies.
