Europe really needs to learn from Canada and Australia about world responsibility. BTW, New Zealand is also acting more in a self serving attitude as of late.

Britian sends the meanest Brigade into Sierra Leone when the UN peace keepers looked like they might fold and become prisoners. Norway has been active, although less productive, in addressing world problems. The Netherlands, Turkey, and Italy are very willing to pitch in, but only if inspired by US pressure. France will only contribute when it involves one of their ex-colonies. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, and Greece do nothing. IOW Europe does have a self-righteous attitude - but most of Europe does not have the right to have that attitude since so few contribute, by action, to solving problems like the British do. In Europe, the British are the only benchmark for how a responsible first world country should accept its responsibilities.

If a suicide bomber had blown up in Belgrade, and Serbs then attacked Bosnia with planes to punish everyone related to that suicide bomber - well Europe would have sat on their heals doing nothing until a Clinton US said "this is unacceptable". Oh.... that is exactly what happened.

We have the exact same situation in the Middle East - where a dichead, like Milosevik, is doing everything he can to create violence (his history is create wars so that he can take oppurtunities - he almost even created WWIII) and encouraging more violence so to justify his expansion of that holocaust. The motherfucker and his silent partners are trying to exterminate the Palestinians. Europe, as usual, just sits on its hands. Now we have a president that endorses that extermination - as long as the Israelis don't create concentrations camps. The dichead is currently testing to see how far he can push before even the mental midget Bush is appauled.

A responsible Europe would rise up in utter dismay at the extermination of Palestinians. An international peacekeeping force is desperately required where dicatorial racist promoters advocate the extermination of their own people. But Europe is still too self-righteous and without the balls to act. They can do that when a mental midget US president says "Don't worry be happy and we will protect you" and while US citizens work more hours every year to protect those Europeans.

Without an intelligent US President, the world will just sit on its hands and let another Rwanda or Kosovo happen. Europe at least should have the balls, responsibility, and ethical backbone to at least say something. Europe remains quiet because Europe only criticizes when it is safe to do so - or when told to by the US.
