| #8 Dont forget Poland. They went balls to the walls for us too. I would also include Japan. |

| #7 Turkey can't be trusted, so proceed with caution. Britain, Australia, India and Russia (with reservations) are better choices, but I don't think we should write off the rest of Europe just yet. Some of them will come around. And the more support, the better. |

| #6 Turkey for bases and pressure on Syria. Also a huge source of irritation to EUrabians. |

| #5 Turkey, lex? Really matters to us? Only in terms of your proposal. We have very very little in common, and a closer Turkey would deliver us an enraged Kurdish population. I vote no. |

| #4 The only European/Eurasian nations that really matter to us are Britain, Russia and Turkey. Support from the rest would be nice but does not significantly matter. Time for us to accept the reality that EUrabian elites increasingly will take a French line toward the middle east and triangulate between us and the jihadists. Let NATO die a quiet death. Start peeling off hte UK and start building an entente with Russia, India, Australia and if possible, Turkey. With close cooperation w Israel, of course. |

| #3 SPOD, it also repeats lies. Bush didn't say, "You're with us or against us," as the left keeps claiming. He said, "You're with us or you're with the terrorists." That they don't see the difference is interesting, and will eventually bite them in the ass. I've got a message to Europe, too: We don't care what you think of us, any more than you care what we think of you. And probably less that that. |

| #1 I read the article. It makes interesting points. Message to Europe. 4 more years of Bush. No Kerry. No cutting an running. You are with us or against us. Do not become our enimies. If you will not help. Shut the hell up and stay out of the way. |
