Re: After Dems, Europeans also capitulate to Bush (none / 1)

Seeing leaders capitulate again and again, for so little apparent reason, I've seriously started to wonder if they literally have guns to their heads. As in, upon taking office, a scary group in menacing suits pays them a visit, and says, "You will not do X, Y, or Z, or we will shoot you and everyone you know." Or, if said scary men just filter people out at the lower levels.

I think they genuinely can't imagine life without submission to the US, so despite all their promises, US administration officials don't really have to do anything to get their way.

Bush is a symptom, not the disease.
