| #3 Article: Part of the same attitude-striking is the attack on Tony Blair for being the "poodle" of America, instead of pursuing an independent foreign policy. I can never figure out why it's better to be a poodle of the Muslim world than a "poodle of America". On one side, Britain's former heathen subjects and on the other, Albion's seed and Britain's kinsmen. It should be a no brainer. |

| #2 I agree, this column is very good. When I read or hear or watch the frecnh and british media, nowadays, I notice with amazement that they continue to blame it all on Israel, as they have done for years. Those people really refuse to think and understand obvious facts. So, it seems that antisemitism's roots in Europe are still deeply rooted in its soil. After this, reading or watching American media is like breathing oxygen after almost drawning. Even if I dont agree with all American analysis, I usually dont find in them those gentle (and less gentle) slanders that European put in their narratives concerning Israel. |

| #1 Excellent column. Suggest it be carried over until tomorrow. "Not only is this analysis wrong - if the Israelis are such imperialists, why did they withdraw from Lebanon for six years, only returning when threatened once again? How many genocidal regimes do you know that have a free press and free elections? - it is also morally imbecilic." No kidding. Nice to see a European so plainspoken, logical and knowledgeable of history. |
