frustration w/Europe

Tom, I really do understand your frustration with Europe. Sometimes I do think they are getting what they deserve due to their craven policies. However, we must think about this objectively and without emotion.

There is no benefit to the U.S. for Europe to fall to Islamofacism. Europe has many resources; Europe also has quite a few nukes. Can you imagine all of this in the hands of the Islamists? So, while I do sometimes entertain the fantasy in my imagination of letting Europe hang, especially after decades of virulent anti-Americanism from some of them, it just isn't strategically in our best interests to do so. In the final analysis, all democratic nations who value their freedoms must put aside their differences and stand together to defeat the new Nazis of the 21st century.
