Tragedy in Spain

The constant 'America is evil' stance is not really a constant... it's trendy to hate the US because you're 'stringing Blair along' and 'infringing on people's civil liberties', or something. Of course I'm sure a government with a more passive stand would be populary accused of allowing attacks to happen.

That is personal opinion with "stringing Blair along" and how are we infringing on people's civil liberties - can you you explain that?

As discussed in the hitorical trivia thread (plug ), it was already quite likely that the US would enter war with or without PH.

When? it was only a 30% approval for war at the time right before Pearl Harbor. We viewed it as a European war - just like it seems most Europeans feel that Al Qaeda and the other related terrorist groups are solely directed at America.

I'm a little confused by your stance vis-a-vis the new EU countries. Surely you're not denying that no progress is better than slight progress? Sure it may not be ideal but your view is like expecting females to reject the Representation of the People Act because it wasn't entirely fair. Progress, as a notion, is a gradual thing.

They weren't being welcomed into the EU as partial countries though. They were accepted into the EU as FULL members and NOW France and Germany are trying to change the rules afterward. That is the problem. i can't believe the number of Europeans who are saying - 'well they should just be happy they're let into the EU - it's better than nothing"
