My
heart cries for every American soldier that died, was wounded or was
kidnapped in Iraq and Afghanistan!
My heart
cries for every Israeli soldier that died in Gaza, West Bank and
Lebanon!
All
of them are the very front line of defense in the war on terror!!!
I think
that the American generosity is too much! USA still behaves as a country
and a global player. By the contrast, a lot of things are changing in
the “Old Europe” after the Soviet Union’s collapse. The European
countries lost
their abilities to be a country and behaves instead as a corporation. The
Corporate European two dozen+ countries wrapped in they blue union flag
and with their common currency can and should contribute more to this
was effort on Terrorism Global War. They will not be spared by the “beast of
war” which will have direct or collateral damages in theyr societies.
This war
(Global War on Terror) cannot be more global then it is already. Some (countries) do make a
symbolic contribution, but simply they do not have the critical mass to
make a decisive difference in
altering the realities on the ground. The "other" troops, beside
Americans and British, are modestly almost dedicated to second line
combat.
Europe is
corporate now! They are weak today, beside one of their today’s member: Germany,
that during the WWII, almost win the war alone. They lost the war because
the atrocities they committed, war crime, some big tactical and strategically mistakes
(who do not make mistake at war?!) and because simply they did not have
the necessary logistics & manpower for a prolonged war. It was for American
war effort that tilted the balance alone, her
vast technological and manpower logistics, which saved Europe in the
last hour. If is was not for the American help, Europe as we know it before the
1938-1939, will be today a Germanic-speaking territory.
In the
Korean War, again, the Americans saved the day and paid the dues in
blood and high sacrifice. In Vietnam, they stopped the expansion of
soviet and china-made communisms. The American enrolment in the Cold War made the
Soviet and Chinese doctrine’s marketing very expensive for Soviet Union
and China. Going around the globe and franchising Communism was
becoming a difficult, expensive and dangerous business...
The
Europeans are weak and they prove it all along from 1945 on. They
couldn’t deal by themselves a single regional, continental or even more,
a global war. The Balkans and the ex-Yugoslavia’s tragedy is a cruel and
vivid testimony to this indifference and peace-time military capability.
If is was not (again) for the heavy American air cover
and well armed, trained and equipped American troops, the genocide will
go on even today. And one can wonder how the Jewish Holocaust could happen,
when other Holocausts are happening even today, under our eyes watching
war on Internet.
Why they
do not help America and Israel in the war against Islamic Terror:
because they are week, to not want to commit, are not equipped for a modern war, don’t
have the money and the stomach for the cruel urban guerilla warfare we
encounter today from Afghanistan to Iraq, from Africa to Asia. When I
refer to Europe, please include, in this case only, the Russia and the
China. All of them are sitting in front of their plasmas televisions
(made in China) and watch CNN and the death tool slowly rising in a
civil-war torn Iraq.
Yes, you
may argue that other countries are on this with America, but they do not
see much combat beside the American and English troops. Some limited
actions are conducted by the Canadians and Australians, and if you see and
analyze it all, all are Commonwealth countries.
To bad
that 3,500+ American soldiers died in the sands and dusty street of
Iraq, the flower of the American spear-head military power. Too much!!!
And not even to mention 25,000 wounded people from this conflict; and
even not to count the civil population caught in the cross firing. And
now we have kidnapped
soldiers for ransom.
To bad
that again, in almost a century of well documented history, the American
have to be called again and again to save the World. They can be helped!
But the “other world” is just too yellow to do it.
And for
what are American dieing there?!
To bring
democracy for people who are not yet prepared to deal in a democratic
way!
They do
not learn about democracy in schools! They do
not read about democracy in them liberties or religious places! They do
no hear about democracy in they radio and television stations!
Maybe they will generate a democracy type society within the Muslim or
Islamic religion.
All they
see in they mass-media communications is terror wrapped in religion. And
this (terror and killings) is all they know and employ. Have a look at
the Iraq civil atrocities between the Shiite and Sunni communities. But of course
they are exceptions, but in this case the exception does make the rule.
Why the
Arab and “Moderate Muslims Countries” are not putting together a strong
military peace force in order to pacify Iraq and Afghanistan. There is
peace force in A F R I C A! And they (African countries) do not have
the money the Aram states are collecting from oil. for every 1 dollar we
spend on gas at the pomp, $0.50 goes to a Arab or Muslim state. The poor Ethiopia helped Somalia deal with the terrorist
militia of the Islamic Courts. Why the rich Arab countries cannot help
Iraq and Afghanistan and Sudan?
A
cannot advise America what to do.
But this
I know: the Europeans + {Russia, France, Germany] + China are not
helping, militarily, economically or diplomatically. There will be a
time when why will call on America to save them! Again!?
I am
sure they will have the “chutzpah” to call the Americans again, when in
big troubles. The
Europeans know how to ask nicely and the Americans (generous as usual)
will send help, again! Or maybe not?!
