Let's face facts, Europe's being run by cowards |
Let's face facts, Europe's being run by cowards
The Australian ^ | 1st August 2005 | Mathias Doepfner
THE writer Henryk Broder recently issued a withering indictment:
Europe, your family name is appeasement. That phrase resonates because
it is so terribly true.
Appeasement cost millions of Jews and non-Jews their lives as allies
Britain and France negotiated and hesitated too long before they
realised that Adolf Hitler needed to be fought and defeated, because
he could not be bound by toothless agreements.
Later, appeasement legitimised and stabilised communism in the Soviet
Union, then in East Germany, then throughout the rest of Eastern
Europe, where for several decades inhuman, repressive and murderous
governments were glorified.
Appeasement similarly crippled Europe when genocide ran rampant in
Bosnia and Kosovo. Indeed, even though we had absolute proof of
continuing mass murder there, we Europeans debated and debated, and
then debated still more. We were still debating when finally the
Americans had to come from halfway around the world, into Europe yet
again, to do our work for us.
Europe still hasn't learned. Rather than protecting democracy in the
Middle East, European appeasement, camouflaged behind the fuzzy word
equidistance, often seems to countenance suicide bombings in Israel by
fundamentalist Palestinians.
Similarly, it generates a mentality that allows Europe to ignore the
almost 500,000 victims of Saddam Hussein's torture and murder
machinery and, motivated by the self-righteousness of the peace
movement, to harangue George W. Bush as a warmonger.
This hypocrisy continues even as it is discovered that some of the
loudest critics of US action in Iraq made illicit billions - indeed,
tens of billions - of dollars in the corrupt UN oil-for-food program.
Today we are faced with a particularly grotesque form of appeasement.
How is Germany reacting to the escalating violence by Islamic
fundamentalists in The Netherlands, Britain and elsewhere in Europe?
By suggesting - wait for it - that the proper response to such
barbarism is to initiate a Muslim holiday in Germany.
I wish I were joking, but I am not. A substantial fraction of
Germany's Government - and, if polls are to be believed, the German
people -- actually believe that creating an official state Muslim
holiday will somehow spare us from the wrath of fanatical Islamists.
One cannot help but recall Britain's Neville Chamberlain on his return
from Munich, waving that laughable treaty signed by Hitler, and
declaring the advent of peace in our time.
What atrocity must occur before the European public and its political
leadership understands what is really happening in the world? There is
a sort of crusade under way; an especially perfidious campaign
consisting of systematic attacks by Islamists, focused on civilians,
that is directed against our free, open Western societies, and that is
intent on their utter destruction.
We find ourselves faced with a conflict that will most likely last
longer than any of the great military clashes of the last century, a
conflict conducted by an enemy that cannot be tamed by tolerance and
accommodation because that enemy is actually spurred on by such
gestures. Such responses have proven to be signs of weakness.
Only two recent US presidents have had the courage needed to shun
appeasement: Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. The US's critics may
quibble over the details, but in our hearts we Europeans know the
truth, because we saw it first hand.
Reagan ended the Cold War, freeing half of Europe from almost 50 years
of terror and slavery. And Bush, acting out of moral conviction and
supported only by the social democrat Tony Blair, recognised the
danger in today's Islamist war against democracy.
In the meantime, Europe sits back in the multicultural corner with its
usual blithe self-confidence.
Instead of defending liberal values and acting as an attractive centre
of power on the same playing field as the true great powers, the US
and China, it does nothing. On the contrary, we Europeans present
ourselves, in contrast to the supposedly arrogant Americans, as world
champions of tolerance, which even Germany Interior Minister Otto
Schily justifiably criticises.
Where does this self-satisfied reaction come from? Does it arise
because we are so moral? I fear that it stems from the fact that we
Europeans are so materialistic, so devoid of a moral compass.
For his policy of confronting Islamic terrorism head-on, Bush risks
the fall of the dollar, huge amounts of additional national debt, and
a massive and persistent burden on the US economy. But he does this
because, unlike most of Europe, he realises that what is at stake is
literally everything that really matters to free people.
While we criticise the capitalistic robber barons of the US because
they seem too sure of their priorities, we timidly defend our welfare
states. "Stay out of it. It could get expensive," we cry.
So, instead of acting to defend our civilisation, we prefer to discuss
reducing our 35-hour work week or improving our dental coverage, or
extending our four weeks of annual paid holiday. Or perhaps we listen
to television pastors preach about the need to reach out to
terrorists, to understand and forgive.
These days, Europe reminds me of an old woman who, with shaking hands,
frantically hides her last pieces of jewellery when she notices a
robber breaking into a neighbour's house. Appeasement? That is just
the start of it. Europe, thy name is Cowardice.

That's because no one believed Saddam got rid of his WMD's. Probably not
even Saddam himself believed he had no WMD's. And "his country"? I guess
that pretty much says it all about a mentality such as yours. Iraq was
Saddam's country. It belonged to him. And we took it away. Poor *****.

that's false. Our invasion had next to nothing to do with some old
artillery shells left over from decades earlier.
The truth is that we did not know whether Saddam had gotten rid of all
those old shells or not. But who really cared? No informed person.
They were old - and therefore about all of them, if not all of them,
were no longer viable. These weapons go bad with time. Leave a jar of
mayonnaise out for a couple years - and it isn't going to work. Same
with the old artillery shells Saddam's accounting did not completely
explain away.
That's all you really convey when you say "saddam got rid of his WMDS"
Who CARES if he did or not?
He had no delivery system even for the few which MIGHT still have
worked.
So you claim - oh, he coud give them to Osama? So what? Osama could
get that sort of stuff a hundred places. Osama could make his own.
Invading Iraq would not stop Osama from getting horrible weapons.
The WMD were a CON to SCARE you into supporting the war. Any INFORMED
person would know that the old shells - which might have been there,
might not have been - were hardly grounds for war.
Which is exactly why the Bush-Cheney administration had to MAKE UP the
spectacular falsehoods about NUKES and being in cahoots in the attack
on the WTC
Because they knew that no informed person would go to war over some
rotting old artillery shells which might or might not still be lying
around.
Probably not
even Saddam himself believed he had no WMD's. And "his country"? I guess
that pretty much says it all about a mentality such as yours. Iraq was
Saddam's country. It belonged to him. And we took it away. Poor *****.
Of course, Saddam was only killing "scores" of his opponents, per
year, according to Amnesty International.
We are killing TENS OF THOUSANDs of them per year.
We grabbed that country to get their oil and to have a nice place to
put our big fat army right in the middle of the middle east.
Saddam - a guy we helped put in power - mistreated the Iraqis, and we
have stepped into his shoes.
We won't let the Iraqis have their own rulers - unless we feel they
are our puppets - anymore than we let the Iranians have Mossadeq as
their leader before our CIA backed the coup tossing him out in 1953
Our mentality is - you can have your own leaders, as long as they are
our puppets.
We TOOK Iraq because Saddam got too big for his britches in invading
Kuwait. And because we wanted to control his oil. And because we
wanted the 14 permanent military bases we are now building there to
make sure no one else gets any smart ideas about who is really the
boss over there.
President Bush signed a Presidential Directive not too long ago
directing our secret agencies to interfere in the most recent Iraqi
election, throwing support behind the guys we wanted to win.
The directive was cancelled because Nancy Pelosi, who is apparently
not as brain-dead as the President about the certain result of such
interference, went ape-*****. But what do you want to bet that the
President withdrew the directive - but still gave the word - try to
rig their elections?
We are a lot like Saddam - we kill them by the trainloads, we torture
them in the prisons, we don't much care what they want. We just are
selfish.

Unless there is some major change in human nature there will always be
bullies. As far as bullies go the US is fairly benevolent. People and
nations appease because they have no other choice.

Being very strong in relationship to other nations ain't all that bad.
In the era of WWI and WWII there were multiple nations that were at
approximate military parity. This made for very long and ugly wars.

This terrorism ***** aint all that new. Johannes Most and the

terrorism have come to the surface through out the 20th century from
the Black Hand to the various Red Brigades in Europe in the 70s. None
have been very successful in the long run. What is more scary is
Democide.

Lots of blame to go around however the majority should be laid of the
feet of Islam. Ben-laden as king of Arabia would make little
difference. Saudi has to sell it's oil or starve.
