   Do I give a shit about the Europeans? No. Do I feel sad for the innocent   
   Thai's and Indonesians and Sri Lankans? Yes. They waited on fat rich lazy   
   Euros and hoped to make enough money to buy a few crumbs of food.   
      
   Keep in mind that the USA provided the stability in Europe that was required   
   for their economies to grow and prosper. That in turn enabled them to go on   
   the holidays they were on.   
      
   Also keep in mind that while Americans are dying to give freedom to Iraqis,   
   just as they did for the Europeans 60 years ago, the Euros have been   
   carping, sniping, whining and doing absolutely nothing to help. Should I   
   feel sad for the Euros while they are sipping Margaritas while American   
   soldiers are giving their blood for freedom in Iraq? No.   
      
   Was the war to free Iraqis a bad choice? Well, if so, then fighting to free   
   the Europeans was a bad choice too.
