US and Israel vs the world!!
Reader comment on item: Europeans: From Venus?
Submitted by American Patriot (United States), Dec 6, 2003 at 11:35
Why is it that only a handful of countries have the nerve to admit that decisive military action is often the single best way to confront one's enemies? When I look at Europe today, a land of appeasing invertebrates... , I smile with the knowledge that my nation's superpower status will not be seriously challenged in the foreseeable future. ..Oh, and I love President Bush too...
