Re: "The Germans to the Front!" (4.00 / 4)

great comment, afew.

i think our greater problem as europeans, and i'm very glad to see it addressed so assiduously here at ET, is the backdoor agreements with america that our secret police forces in many (all?) euro- countries have made.

this feeds into the tinfoil world domination fears we share in our collective unconscious, i believe.

in this respect, england, germany and italy have erred greatly, and the WOT is just not convincing enough to justify it, i think most agree, at least here.

renditions, anyone?

german forces in iraq prewar?

england's shady lurches towards tossing habeus corpus also?

It's all for our own good, and it is done to defend European values and protect us from common threads.

Or something like that. Someone who actually agrees with that should write a diary on the benefits of Atlanticism.

"Common threads" are a bigger problem than you'd think? Can you imagine what would happen if we all had to share our bell-bottoms?
