RE: Old Europe

Actually Keltic, we are all old Europeans. Why, because our continent and each individual nation has got a history, like most countries in the world. In America, they are forgetting there was a world before 4th july 1776.

The remarks made by Rumsfeld should be taken seriously. Even though I support a Europe that can act as one, everyone knows that the real engine behind this continent is the Franco-German one. I`m glad that my country backs the opinion of Paris and Berlin, rather than the so called new Europe.

Very smart of Rumsfeld to insult 160 million Europeans directly, but as a supporter of the Paris-Berlin axis, I should also feel insulted. I`m supprised how calm both leaders stayed after hearing these remarks. Probably because they already gave up the idea hearing something reasonable from the west of the atlantic, no sorry, I mean west of the North Sea (sorry Ireland).

RE: Trip in London

What I did

British Museum
Madame Taussault
Tower Bridge
Buckingham palace (somehow people over there didn`t appreciate my presence, probably because of that #####-shouting)
… actually all the places normal tourists visit.

RE: War or no war?

Both the UK and America have servicemen and women prepared to give their lives in the service of their countries. It is doing them a grave disservice to expect them to give their lives on a whim.

One of the smartest remarks I heard so far.

RE: Old Europe

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 24-01-03 AT 10:20 AM (GMT)]Rumsfeld probably means with the Old Europe, the Europe that will colonise America once again }>. We can`t help it, that America, from point of a philosopher, is 250 years behind of Europe. (Much hasn`t changed since Montesquieu in the US, really).

BTW, those eastern-bloc nations don`t support the United States because they feel sorry for the Iraqi people who suffer from the dictator known as Saddam, but just because they want to have money from the US and be less dependent on the EU instead. Problem is we can`t blame those nations for not agreeing with the EU on this, as the EU itself (Blair/Aznar) doesn`t have a real opinion.

I just wish one leader in Europe would have the balls to say: no, you ain`t gonna use our bases as hub (apart from the C-17s transporting the body bags, which, lets hope, will be as few as possible).

RE: Korea..an example?

I support your plan ELP.

RE: Companies who Supplied Chemicals to Iraq

At least Schroder won .}> And really, maybe us Euros don`t always agree with eachother, but the people (not the leaders) have already send a very clear message about this new war: NO. And this includes both leftwingers, rightwingers and even those neo-fascist SOB`s who are marching through the streets of Antwerp.

I thought a recent poll said more than 80% of people where against this war.

RE: Please explain!!!…..Is it me?

Blair — the new Cromwell :D????
