Europeans cannot resist violence

Submitted by Dan McDowell (United States), Jul 17, 2002 at 20:45

Don't kid yourself about Europe drifting into the military background. Europeans have always fallen prey to ceasars, kings, and feurors who promise glory and a restored Rome. The more they decline in military and/or political affluence, the more they will crave lost glory. They cannot resist. They will not resist. It is said that a king cannot be created, a king is bred. Likewise a peaceful European cannot be created for he is bred to war, bloodshed, violence and glory. You think this is a bit crazy? Wait long enough and you will see! You can keep a wild beast subjugated with constant attention, but when that beast encounters the RIGHT circumstances it will return to it's instincts and thirst for blood. This BEAST will submit to it's own nature again and will be more ravenous than the world can now immagine. Just wait and see. Wait and see. Dan McDowell
