What Dr. Pipes said is so true:
"…And now it's the same thing: if you think Iran having missiles is fine, ok – we won't protect you. That would create a much greater sense of realism. But unfortunately, as it is, we take initiative, and then others criticize us for that. It would be far more constructive for Europeans to have to make hard decisions themselves than simply criticize us. We Americans make Europeans act as children who don't have to make key decisions, they are made for them. I don't think that is healthy for Europeans or ourselves."…
It is so beautiful when somebody speaks the truth. Europeans (and in the US liberals and cheap leftists) are eternal irresponsible teenagers. They always have somebody taking their responsibilities, by the end of the day) and actions. And, strangely as it is (my words: their hormones) engage in their eternal criticism against the US, while not taking action against –in this case- Islamists or in the past others forms of evil- everything just to justify how important Europeans and (liberals) also are in their ludic environment and of course, when criticizing the care giver and teen Sitter America, they emphasize even more their revolt.
Nazi German was stopped thanks to America and still America is criticized for having attacked German's allies.
Aside from that:
If Barack Hussein Obama wants to integrate Europe and America, I bet he is preparing himself to be one "of the leaders".
It will be a disaster. Yet, Europeans can barely live in their differences and today complete cultural disintegration, imagine when attaching itself to America- the final expansion of the hoarding: Exactly like teenagers when their rooms are dirty and messy and they "need" other places in the house to "expand"…well, children by 3 also do the same….
