The true cause of US-EU rift

Submitted by Greg Ofiesh (United States), Jul 25, 2002 at 04:59

America and the European Union are quite different on policy regarding many things, particularly the middle east, not because one is big and strong and the other is small and weakly and thus they see life differenly, but because one is based upon Christian principles and the other is the not and thus their agenda is vastly different..

President Bush supports Israel's claims to the promised lands, while the EU opposes their claims and has tried to establish permanent obstacles.

While President Bush says that Israel has a right to self defense, the EU leads the world in condemning its fight against terror and demanding that Israel give land that God promised her to those who wish to destroy her.
